Hanwang masked-face recognition extends police tracking during COVID-19

Reuters reported that Hanwang Technology had rolled masked-face identification out to roughly 200 Beijing clients, including police, and that China's Ministry of Public Security could link images to names and track people as they moved. Hanwang claimed about 95 percent recognition for masked faces, while its own dated page separately corroborated deployed identification, health-data upload, and continuous video monitoring.
