Skynet was taken as the first priority project by Mohui, and the few remaining backbones of the company put all their energy into it, because there is the basis of Trajectory 1.0, and many of the rough prototypes of Mohui have come out, so the development progress is very fast. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A month later, Skynet 1.0 was finally completed, and its main function is a monitoring platform, which can achieve automatic tracking and video search by obtaining the data stream of municipal monitoring, and then processing the video data.

The technical level of Skynet 1.0 is not high, and many of its key modules are based on existing open source code, which are recombinations of existing products on the market.

For example, after the municipal surveillance video data is taken back, the video screen needs to be processed, such as the face recognition system is needed to identify and confirm the target's behavior trajectory, otherwise these tasks need to be done manually, which will consume a lot of manpower and energy, which is too high for a small company with only three or five people like Mohui.

Not only do faces need to be automatically recognized, but also license plates, clothing, roads, and buildings all need to be intelligently recognized, and they can be recognized from the two-dimensional picture of the plane and turned into data that can be recognized by the computer. In this way, we can maximize the manpower and ensure the operability and searchability of the data.

To put it bluntly, the key to Skynet is two points, one is information acquisition, that is, how to obtain municipal monitoring data; Another is data processing, if not processed, video is video, all work must be carried out manually, the significance of Skynet is to process and analyze these video images, through various algorithms and program means, the key information in the video screen is extracted, and it becomes the data of the operation that the computer can identify.

Skynet is not Mo Hui's unique idea, as far as Mo Hui knows, similar software has already existed, and many key functions have already entered the commercial application stage, such as face recognition technology, which has been developed for more than ten years.

The various open-source modules used by Skynet are not high in terms of technological advancement, and there must be many government departments or commercial companies that can surpass Skynet in terms of technology.

After Mo Hui made Skynet 1.0, he asked the original landlord Li Gang out for dinner.

"Brother Li, have you ever been in contact with a detective company?"

"I've dealt with it, but it's not much, what's wrong?"

"Our company recently wants to transform into a support software similar to a detective company, so I would like to ask Brother Li, how do general detective companies do it?"

"There are big differences between the various detective companies, and as for the approach, the key depends on what type of detective company you are. For example, there are many small detective companies, 3/5 people, get an office in a regular way, and then register, some simply don't even register, they generally dare to take any job, but generally this kind of company is not very reliable, most of them earn your advance payment. ”

"Detective companies charge upfront?"

"yes, it doesn't matter what you're going to investigate, as soon as you start working, people have to invest in manpower, right? You have to give someone the start-up fee first, right? How effective the investigation is, anyway, as long as you want to hire a detective company, someone else is out, you have to pay a part of the cost in advance. ”

"All detective companies are like that?"

"Yes, it's a rule, many informal small companies are not rushing to help you get things done, but to your advance payment."

"How much does it cost?"

"It's hard to say about this, because different cases, different complexities, and different investment personnel will make the price fluctuate greatly. However, generally speaking, the detective company will first assess the difficulty of the case, give a quote, and then negotiate a labor fee with you. For example, in a second wife investigation case, people may ask you for 150,000 yuan, and then discuss it in advance and provide you with a few photos to close the case. If there is an additional action that needs to be added, or if the cost of action and manpower exceed the budget, they will let you do so. To put it bluntly, it is to work for money, and if you want the detective company to work more, you have to pay more. ”

"A case of catching the second wife will cost hundreds of thousands?"

"Almost, do you think, since it is to catch the second wife, then this family must not be bad for money, can you not ask for more?"

"What kind of business is more common in a general detective company?"

"As far as I know, it should still be based on marriage investigation and business investigation."

"I can probably understand the marriage investigation, but what is a business investigation?"

"Business investigation is closer to competitor investigation, but more in-depth, for example, in some government project bidding, some better detective companies can help you get the bottom of the opponent's bid, and even help you win the bid."

"The detective company still does this job?"

"Since they are detective companies, they will more or less have some social resources, regardless of the underworld and white, these resources are the way they make money."

"These two main businesses?"

"Anyway, the detective companies I know mainly rely on two businesses to make money, and there are many other businesses involved, such as missing person search, or anti-counterfeiting, patent infringement cases, child behavior monitoring, debt collection, tracking, property investigation, credit investigation, crime investigation, etc., anyway, there are quite a lot. After all, they are serving customers, so basically as long as the customer asks for it, as long as it is not too outrageous, they will accept it. ”

"Is it generally easy to do detective companies?"

"I don't know, I really don't know this, but what I learned is that those who work as detective companies don't seem to make a lot of money."

"~~~ Why?"

"You think, since it's a detective company, it won't be a good thing, no matter how good you do, it's too late for people to cover it up, so they won't help you publicize."

"~~~ Oh, I understand, word-of-mouth marketing in this industry doesn't work."

"That's right! That's what it means. ”

"And this detective business, it's basically one customer and one order, and there are very few repeat customers, you think, how unlucky this person is to produce repeat customers!"

"~~~I understand~~~" Mo Hui suddenly said, "~~~ Due to the limitations of the industry, it is difficult for detective companies to have a sustainable and stable income, so it is difficult to become bigger. ”

"Almost, anyway, I haven't seen anyone make a fortune as a detective company, but if you catch up with a big order, it's possible to make a small fortune. What do you think? After listening to my introduction, do you still want to be a detective company? ”

Mo thought about it, he felt that the key to whether the detective company could do a good job was the difficulty of acquiring customers, and big data might be able to play a certain role in this.

"Brother Li, I still want to try it, you have to help and give me guidance often."

"Okay, whatever you want, I'll definitely help you where I can help anyway. Anyway, we often encounter all kinds of messy cases in our bureau, if anyone has this intention, I will let him find you. ”

"Okay, then thank you Brother Li first!"
