Chinese researchers have developed new technology that can recognize people by their posture within a distance of 50 meters.
The technology could be used extensively in security systems, public transportation and business venues, according to researcher Huang Yongzhen.
Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Automation believe the technology can determine someone's identity even if they walk with their back to the camera.
Huang said the technology could count as many as 1,000 people in an area as big as 1,000 square meters at a distance of 100 meters.
