步行就能識別身份？中國黑科技又震驚外媒了範例

China has begun rolling out new surveillance software capable of recognising people simply by the way that they walk.
中國開始推出新型監控軟件，它只需要監測人們走路的方式就能識別個人身份。

The "gait recognition" technology, developed by Chinese artificial intelligence firm Watrix, is capable of identifying individuals from the shape and movement of their silhouette from up to 50 metres away, even if their face is hidden.
這種“步態識別”技術是由中國人工智能公司銀河水滴科技公司（Watrix）研發的。即使行人的面部被遮住了，它也可以根據50米以內行人影子的形狀和活動識別個人身份。

The system is currently being used by police in Beijing and Shanghai and adds to the country's formidable surveillance network that includes an estimated 170 million CCTV cameras.
目前北京和上海警方已經在使用這套系統，而且它還被裝入中國強大的監控網絡中，可以覆蓋近1.7億個監控攝像頭。

The software can be used on footage from standard surveillance cameras, however it does not currently work in real-time. Instead, the footage is analysed once it is recorded, which takes approximately 10 minutes.
該軟件可以監測標準監控攝像頭的連續鏡頭，不過它並非即時生效，而是通過分析紀錄下來的影像來得出結果，這需要大約10分鐘的時間。

"You don't need people's cooperation for us to be able to recognise their identity," Watrix CEO Huang Yongzhen said.
“你不需要行人配合我們就可以識別他們的身份，”銀河水滴科技公司總裁黃永禎說道。

"Gait analysis can't be fooled by simply limping, walking with splayed feet or hunching over, because we're analysing all the features of the entire body."
“步態分析不會被簡單的跛行、外八字或弓着腰走路所矇蔽，因爲我們分析的是整個身體的特點。”

Previous surveillance initiatives include a so-called "spy bird" programme that uses dove-like drones to monitor populations from the skies.
先前的監控方案還有一種被稱爲“間諜鳥”的程序，它可以通過像鴿子一樣的無人機來從空中監控人羣。

China is also in the process of introducing a controversial "social credit system", aimed at reinforcing the idea that "keeping trust is glorious and breaking trust is disgraceful", according to a government document.
據中國政府的一份文件指出，中國還在引入一種備受爭議的“社會信用體系”，旨在加強人們“守信光榮，失信可恥”的觀念。

Set to be fully operational by 2020, the programme ranks citizens by their behaviour – such as parking violations and jaywalking – in order to determine who is most worthy of the best social housing and schooling for their children.
該方案計劃於2020年全面實施，通過市民違規停車或亂穿馬路等行爲來爲其排名，以此判斷誰更值得爲孩子選擇最好的社會福利住房和學校。
