Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, announced on the 19th that it has operated a "high-speed search system for missing persons" in earnest.


Earlier in the second half of last year, Icheon City secured 200 million won in special grant tax for disaster safety and completed the construction of a "high-speed search system for missing persons." The system, which has been verified for stability and efficiency through the pilot operation period, was introduced to respond quickly in the event of disappearance and criminal incidents.


This missing person high-speed search system works based on artificial intelligence (AI) technology. 
When the description or photo information of the missing person is entered into the system, it analyzes 3,673 CCTV images installed throughout Icheon City to track the movement path of the missing person and identify the current location. This is expected to play a decisive role in securing golden time by drastically shortening the search time compared to the previous method in which control personnel had to check numerous CCTV images one by one.

The system has various functions as well as searching for missing persons.


The vehicle number recognition function can be used for criminal investigations such as hit-and-run accidents, and the high-speed search function in a specific area helps to quickly analyze CCTV images around the scene of the incident to find clues necessary for the investigation. In addition, the de-identification of personal information is effective in protecting personal information.


Icheon Mayor Kim Kyung-hee said, "We expect that the introduction of a high-speed search system for missing persons will increase the efficiency of searching for missing persons and secure golden time to contribute to saving precious lives," adding, "We will continue to do our best to protect citizens' safety by utilizing artificial intelligence technology."
