Chapter 90 The city’s surveillance project

"At present, the company's staff size has reached 30 people, and the project in cooperation with Huya Live has been basically completed. According to the news there, our smart portrait beautification model will be officially launched today."

In the company president's office, Xu Yun listened to Meng Songyan report on the company's recent status after meeting with the new employees.

The intelligent portrait beautification model independently developed by the image restoration tool has applied for a technology patent and was officially authorized to Huya Live.

Used for real-time beautification of portraits of anchors in order to pursue better live broadcast effects.

Because this function is officially launched today, Deepin Technology, as a technical supporter, must be well prepared.

It is guaranteed that there will be no problems on the first run.

In this case, it is necessary to go to work normally during the National Day.

But fortunately, this is a special situation. According to the company's benefits, in addition to enjoying several times the salary, you can also use your vacation as compensation in the future.

No one had any complaints.

On the contrary, the fighting spirit is surprisingly high and I dare not relax at all.

Xu Yun knew all these situations and was relieved that Meng Songyan was doing things. After hearing this, he did not ask too many questions. Instead, he was more interested in the new project mentioned by Meng Songyan in the news.

"By the way, Manager Meng, what's the status of the new project you mentioned on the phone earlier?"

Hearing Xu Yun mention this, Meng Songyan put on a smile on his face and hurriedly took out a document and handed it over and explained: "The city wants to upgrade the software of the city's surveillance system, and our company relies on the technology of image restoration.

We successfully got this project. Although the project capital is less than 5 million, if it succeeds, it will have a great impact on the company."

Xu Yun took the document and looked at it carefully, and was surprised that Meng Songyan could get the project in the city.

The surveillance system is indeed a scene where image restoration technology is used, which can optimize and repair the images captured by surveillance.

It is of great help to the detection rate of the public security system and urban security.

If the application effect in key practical scenarios is outstanding, it may be adopted by major cities across the country.

By then, the popularity of Deepin Technology will also rise rapidly.

It can be seen that Meng Songyan must have struggled a lot in order to get this project.

Xu Yun is studying at Beijing University and plans to settle here to take his mother over in the future. He definitely hopes that the safety of this city can be improved.

So he supports this project.

However, in order to meet the upgrade needs of the city surveillance system, the portrait restoration algorithm of the existing image restoration tool alone is not enough, and the optimization of other types of images must be added.

Anyway, the relevant algorithm technology is in his mind, so it is not difficult to update the company's image restoration technology.

Moreover, the company currently has more than ten technical personnel, who are fully capable of taking charge of the algorithm framework.

He only needs to upgrade the core part.

After thinking about this clearly, he closed the document and put it on the desktop, nodded and spoke to Meng Songyan in a deep voice.

"Improving urban safety through our algorithm technology is what our company should do."

"How about this."

"In the next period of time, I will take the time to upgrade the algorithm and add repair intelligence to other image categories."

"Ensuring the project runs smoothly."

When Meng Songyan heard this, his face was filled with surprise.

"Mr. Xu."

"You mean our image restoration technology has been upgraded with new features?"

Not caring about his own lapse, he immediately stood up and asked.

In fact, when he talked about this project, he was not absolutely sure. After all, the algorithm developed by Xu Yun was mainly for portraits. If it is applied to complex scenes such as urban surveillance, the effect may be somewhat compromised, but there is no way around it.

.

How can algorithm technology be so easily upgraded?

Fortunately, the city gave Deepin Technology this opportunity.

Now that I have learned from Xu Yun that the algorithm has been upgraded, how can I not be excited and happy?

"With the cooperation of the company's technical staff, it shouldn't take too long."

Xu Yun nodded and confirmed to Meng Songyan again.

"That's great. I'll arrange it later and let them fully cooperate. With the newly upgraded technical algorithm, it will be easier to connect with the city's monitoring system."

After Meng Songyan said that he couldn't stay any longer, he immediately turned around and left to make arrangements outside.

After looking at Meng Songyan's back until it disappeared from sight, Xu Yun turned his attention to the computer screen on his desk.

Then I opened Huya Live, intending to see the actual effects of those anchors using the model.

"Thank you to my roommates for being my son's two rockets."

"Want to order a song?"

…

Xu Yun casually opened a live broadcast room in the entertainment section and immediately heard the host's voice thanking him for the gift.

Looking up, the female anchor seems to be wearing only light makeup. Although the skin on her face is fair, it gives people a very real feeling, and even the pores on her face can be vaguely seen.

And there is no spatial distortion that has been criticized.

And this is the true beauty that the deep-tech portrait beautification algorithm model focuses on.

The main thing that the anchor can bring to the audience is companionship. In the past, when I used the beauty camera software, I was like two people compared to the original appearance.

In addition, the face shape is almost carved from the same mold, which greatly distorts the audience's aesthetics.

Now that the audience has finally eaten something good, they will naturally no longer be interested in the kind of beauty they used to have.

Speaking of which, Xu Yun had never watched a live broadcast, and he accidentally caught a glimpse of Qian Yudong opening it in his dormitory. The skin and facial features that had become pale after beauty treatments looked very uncomfortable.

I really don’t know how Qian Yudong continues to look at it.

At this time, Xu Yun moved his eyes to look at the barrage next to him, and suddenly a large amount of information flashed quickly.

"The anchor seems more beautiful if he doesn't turn on the beauty function. Is it my imagination?"

"This will be the live broadcast from now on."

"It seems that Huya has launched a new beautification function, and it looks pretty good now."

"Of course the effect is good, I used the portrait beautification model of the image restoration tool."

"I also like to use image restoration tools to retouch pictures, which can properly remove defects while still maintaining a sense of reality."

"It will be easy to tell how good the Huya anchor will be in the future."

…

For the audience, using this optimization model, the anchor can easily see the anchor's true appearance, and at least they will no longer worry about being deceived by some old aunts.

This can also have the effect of good coins driving away bad coins, and truly make Huya beauties like clouds.

And those anchors who refuse to use this model may gradually lose their popularity.

After all, the most indispensable thing in the country is beautiful girls.

Xu Yun briefly read the reviews, determined that this was a win-win cooperation, and quickly lost interest.

Focus on upgrading technical algorithms.

——

Huya has spent so much money to purchase the technical algorithm support of this portrait beautification model from Deepin Technology. It will definitely use various resources to promote the function on the day it is launched, in order to achieve maximum popularity and strive for its own interests.

With the popularity of image restoration tools and gimmicks such as major changes in the industry, Huya quickly occupied the top search rankings on major websites.

Arouse heated discussions among users.

Although Huya is not the only live streaming platform on the market, public opinion is mixed.

On the contrary, a large number of live broadcast users have flocked to Huya.

As the saying goes, it is easier to go from frugality to luxury than from luxury to frugality. When they see extremely real and beautiful anchors appearing in the live broadcast room, it is not so easy to go back and look at those anchors with seriously homogeneous faces.

I'm afraid no one thought that Huya would bring such a big change to the industry just by buying a portrait beautification model. For this reason, other platforms had to hold an emergency meeting.

Discuss ways to deal with the current situation.

Jiangcheng.

Longhu Development Zone Software Park.

In the Douyu headquarters building, Zhang Zhaojie looked at the technical manager Tao Zerong and the head of the marketing department with a gloomy face in the president's office.

Previously, he stopped Tao Zerong's purchase of models because Deepin Technology's asking price was too high.
