Facial recognition tech nets fugitives

Technology is a great enabler for police, judging by the recent social media headlines that facial recognition technology led to the arrest of a fugitive at a concert of Cantopop legend Jacky Cheung in Jinhua, Zhejiang province.

The wanted criminal was recognized at a Jacky Cheung concert by the facial recognition system of Yitu Technology, a Shanghai-based startup focusing on computer vision technology.

Another four criminals were also caught at Cheung's concerts by using facial technology earlier.
