If the previous release content was just a normal display and introduction that everyone expected, then this unexpected assistance in terms of security for specific cases can be said to have greatly improved the credibility and reliability of Baidu's detection.

In the case of China, things that have been officially cooperated with and praised are always much safer.

Li Yanhong continued to introduce some usage scenarios in daily life, but in Meng Fanqi's opinion, these contents were still quite forced.

At this stage, real-time detection technology does not bring much benefit to personal life, at most it can only be used as a temporary toy.

After introducing all the scenarios and showcasing several important use cases, Li Yanhong concluded his presentation with "Artificial intelligence will change every industry, and Baidu's detection is the best proof." He ended the CEO's presentation and left the time for Wang Haifeng to introduce some data parameters and specific details.

If Li Yanhong's previous narration had the suspicion of bragging with PPT and did not provide convincing evidence, then when Wang Haifeng appeared with a camera, all doubts seemed powerless.

When Wang Haifeng took the stage, he was accompanied by several Baidu staff members who followed behind him, pushing a large mobile cabinet to the center of the stage.

The cabinet was filled with models of many objects, some of which were very realistic, while others were more cartoonish.

Walking in front, Wang Haifeng held a laptop and a handheld external camera.

"This is to replicate the approach I used to convince them back then." Meng Fanqi smiled when he saw this. PPTs and parameters were not specific enough to give people a real sense of it.

Only this direct demonstration form can provide the strongest sensory impact.

No matter how much is said, it is not as effective as showing it directly.

This was what impressed the three Baidu executives who were convinced by Meng Fanqi the most.

"Just a few years ago, we researchers generally believed that it was almost impossible for computers to distinguish between objects. But now, we can not only clearly know what objects are in the image, but we can also accurately annotate their relative positions."

Wang Haifeng displayed an image containing many objects, and each object was clearly labeled with its category and position.

"But there is still one thing that has not been properly solved, and that is the speed of detection."

Wang Haifeng turned the camera towards himself and said, "This is currently the most advanced and accurate R-CNN algorithm in the industry. We can see that it accurately predicts my presence, but it is too slow."

As Wang Haifeng spoke, he slowly walked, but even with a speed of only half a meter per second, the R-CNN algorithm could not keep up in time.

"And this is currently the fastest method in the industry that has a certain level of accuracy."

Wang Haifeng took a few steps forward and switched to a different running algorithm. "Its speed is around ten to twenty frames per second, which seems acceptable when compared to the frame rate of a movie."

As he spoke, he quickly ran a few steps, and the bounding box that was already in the correct position could no longer keep up.

"And now, we will introduce a real-time detection algorithm that can run at over 100 frames per second."

Wang Haifeng rotated, jumped, and moved left and right in the center of the stage, but the predicted bounding box smoothly expanded, contracted, and moved along with his body.

When he returned to the center of the stage again, he didn't say anything, but the whole audience spontaneously burst into enthusiastic applause.

This was encouragement, support, and sincere admiration for the new technology.

This novel is available on "pawread dot com".

Most of the people present were learning about this knowledge for the first time, and the impact they received was much greater than what Wang Haifeng felt when he first saw this technology.

In the public opinion field, the reputation of Baidu's detection also began to improve comprehensively, and its popularity soared.

"Oh my god, Li Yanhong is really serious this time, huh?"

"Someone who understands, please explain, is this thing reliable?"

"How old is this guy, 20? 21? I didn't see clearly just now. Is he holding a conference with Baidu like the photo of China's richest man?"

"Ah! I seem to have some impression of him. Wasn't he mentioned in that elbow incident some time ago?"

"If it really runs at one or two hundred FPS, that would be amazing. At least it would be ahead of the world for one or two years." Some comments showed a clear understanding of the progress in this field.

At the same time, the most nervous ones were the people from Google.

Unlike the situation when they competed with the Hinton team last year, Meng Fanqi has already collaborated with Baidu, and it seems to be quite successful.People often say that the best way to secure an offer from a major company is to have an offer from another major company. Although Baidu is somewhat inferior to Google at this point, the capital Meng Fanqi brought to the negotiation table was not just a simple offer letter, but rather a solid technical achievement that could be commercialized.

In less than an hour of the press conference, Baidu's stock price had soared from 173 to 195.

Real-time detection algorithms can't bring huge profits in the short term, but both capital and the public are very optimistic about future development.

Wang Haifeng turned the camera again to show the items on the mobile cabinet, "We can now enable a single network to recognize dozens or even hundreds of different types of objects."

Then, he lifted the camera and pointed it directly at the dense audience below the stage.

With a slight zoom in, the screen clearly predicted almost every person.

"The speed and lightweight of this achievement allow us not only to run this algorithm on GPUs and computers, but our phones have also started to handle such calculations."

Wang Haifeng took out his own iPhone and simply demonstrated the effect on it.

This was the result of Baidu's iOS system development team working overtime for several days, trying to replicate Meng Fanqi's operations on the graphics card as closely as possible on the phone's hardware and system.

Although the speed on the phone was several times slower, even if it was slower by several times on the original frame rate of one to two hundred, it was still within an understandable and acceptable range.

"And, we will open source the principles and code of this technology within 6-12 months!" Wang Haifeng raised his right hand and announced excitedly.

This promise triggered a wave of applause from the audience.

Meng Fanqi and others laughed in front of the screen, "First, they secure the market for half a year to a year, then open source technology and code to attract enthusiasts to contribute to the community, and they can even make it sound like they've done a great thing."

There was a bit of cunning in it, but willingness to open source was ultimately a good thing.

Seeing this, Jeff felt very uneasy.

Although he hadn't used up his authority quota, Jeff still had room to continue the negotiation. But having a young man in his early twenties push him to his limit and offer the final terms made him feel somewhat out of control.

He had already contacted the board once when discussing profit sharing. If he couldn't secure the deal this time and had to go back to the board to discuss terms again, it would be extremely unprofessional and a great loss of face.
