Technology makes identification quick
A new face recognition system can identify people by comparing an instantly taken image with their ID photo in one-tenth of a second. The system made its debut on Thursday, Chongqing Economic Times reported.
It analyzes a new image and the matching ID photo after eliminating the interference of such external factors as lighting, age, ID photo angle and resolution.
The system is over 93 percent accurate, so far the highest rate in the world, said Zhou Xi, a researcher at Chongqing Institute of Green and Intelligent Technology, which developed the system. It has been used at the Shanghai Museum and at railway stations in Beijing, Chengdu and Harbin.
Residents lay their money out to dry
A 70-year-old woman named Na Ge lays out rows of 100-yuan notes in the sunlight in her yard in Bangpen,Yunnan province, Huashang Daily reported on Friday.
Na Ge said villagers like her used to be too poor to afford a full meal. They have become rich since the local Pu'er tea became popular in recent years.
Villagers would rather keep the money at home than deposit it in the bank. They dry the money on sunny days after it becomes moist from humidity on rainy days.
