"Fire rescue? What happened?" Meng Fanqi was surprised. The YOLO version he provided was already a mature version. He even considered the compatibility of specific operator operations, so there shouldn't be any problems.

After Li Yanhong explained a little, Meng Fanqi suddenly realized that he had underestimated the limitations of the era on vision.

According to Li Yanhong's information, at the current stage, Baidu has already signed project contracts with some government-related institutions.

For example, the hydrological station in Yan Jing hopes to have a dozen or twenty camera devices with Baidu's latest detection algorithm, and paired with Baidu's voice detection technology.

The main function they hope to achieve is to detect and monitor birds and their species in real-time in the monitoring area, and only store video footage with birds.

Improve detection accuracy, expand the detection range, segment specific species, and provide external functions, allowing the public to easily retrieve bird videos of corresponding species to watch.

This project is very small and the difficulty is low. It can be done directly with the bird data collected and the code provided by Meng Fanqi.

"Mr. Li, can you reveal how much money this project is worth?" Meng Fanqi didn't know much about the government's investment in this area, so he asked.

"Hahaha." Li Yanhong laughed heartily and then answered softly, "About three to four hundred."

"Three to four hundred???" Meng Fanqi couldn't control his volume and exclaimed.

They dare to pay this much money? Meng Fanqi's code can directly fulfill this requirement without any modifications. It has almost zero cost in terms of technology and software.

Even in terms of manpower, it would only take one or two people a few days at most.

The only cost lies in the camera devices, but the hydrological station already has some.

Even if they don't have any, how much money would it cost to equip them with high-definition cameras? Even if they were all equipped with professional cameras, it wouldn't cost more than four to five hundred thousand.

"My imagination is still far from enough...." Meng Fanqi marveled at the profit involved.

Meanwhile, Li Yanhong was eager to inquire about the difficulties that several government agencies urgently needed but Baidu couldn't fulfill.

Originally, this was just a problem, which was multi-object tracking of vehicles on the road. How to determine which vehicles in different frames of the video are the same.

This is currently a technical problem without a good solution, and it needs to be developed based on the YOLO source code that Meng Fanqi had just provided.

For the current Baidu, it is already unlikely to achieve this, especially since many technical personnel have gone out to promote products.

With the success of some simple projects, the government, unaware of the situation, has come up with other demands and ideas.

For example, automatically recording the license plates of speeding vehicles. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to not only achieve multi-object tracking, but also intelligently extract the license plates of abnormal vehicles and perform intelligent text and number recognition on this part.

This also involves the recognition and understanding of text information in specific areas.

At this point, Li Yanhong still hadn't received a response from Meng Fanqi, thinking that the phone signal was bad.

"Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?"

"I can hear you. I'm waiting for Mr. Li to talk about the difficulties." Meng Fanqi felt a bit strange. Why did Li Yanhong talk for so long without mentioning the difficult part? Is Baidu's CEO really this idle? His speech had no focus.

"..."

Li Yanhong was speechless upon hearing this, unsure if Meng Fanqi's understanding was the same as his own.

"The most crucial part is multi-object tracking. In the case of not knowing the number of targets in advance, detect and mark multiple vehicle targets in the video for trajectory tracking, with different targets having different labels."

Meng Fanqi summarized the most important requirements, and Li Yanhong repeatedly agreed.

"That's quite simple." Meng Fanqi usually doesn't show off privately, but in front of the three founders of Mi Huoyou, who had just signed the contract, he still felt a bit burdened and showed off a little.

"Just use the Kalman filter and the Hungarian algorithm. Based on YOLO, extract image features and detection results first, use the Hungarian algorithm to find the maximum matching of the bipartite graph, and use the Kalman filter to control the trajectory and make predictions."

"...Can you write it?" Li Yanhong only knew that Meng Fanqi was skilled in technical research, but he had not witnessed his ability to solve practical problems like this. "How long will it take?"

Deep down, Li Yanhong had some doubts. Many people can say how to do it, but when it comes to actually doing it, it's hard to say if they can solve the problem.

This is completely a different field of expertise. Li Yanhong had no doubt about Meng Fanqi's personal abilities and firmly believed that he could most likely solve this problem. However, he didn't expect it to be so fast.

Meng Fanqi instinctively blurted out the solution to this problem, which had troubled Baidu's technical team for one or two weeks with almost no progress, as if it were as simple and natural as drinking water.

"Two to three days, I guess?" In Meng Fanqi's opinion, the various tasks related to detection were not difficult at all. He had written similar business codes before his rebirth.

"Um... can you help us develop it?" Li Yanhong had also heard about Sydney's situation and knew that Meng Fanqi had already signed with Google. He just didn't know the specific details of the agreement. At this moment, he asked, feeling a bit like asking for the impossible."Conveniently, the basic salary Google pays me isn't high, I mainly rely on technology sharing. In fact, they haven't forbidden me from starting my own business, but they do have the right of first refusal if the company I'm the core of is up for sale."

Due to the lack of a sky-high signing fee, Google didn't put too many restrictions on Meng Fanqi.

If you don't give me technology, you don't share the money, right? There are still a few platforms better than Google in the world.

"Mr. Li, I've just told you directly what method to use, I'm only giving you this face." Meng Fanqi actually didn't want to take this task that much.

He could make a cut from anything based on YOLO, there was no need to help Baidu with every single request. The priority for the next month or two was to perfect Google's recommendation advertising algorithm.

"Oh, it's just that the time is tight, you know how it is with the government. If it were any other client, I certainly wouldn't bother you." Meng Fanqi had explained the core method, and Li Yanhong believed his research institute could do it.

But how long it would take, whether there would be problems during the process, that was hard to say. Maybe they would have to bother Meng Fanqi several times.

Since there was no certainty, it was definitely safer to let this AI genius take the lead.

"Mr. Li, don't blame me for being blunt, I've already explained the approach. If you still insist on me writing it, we need to talk business, which means extra charges." Meng Fanqi's cooperation with Li Yanhong had been pleasant so far. Giving some ideas and hints was fine, but it was far from working for free.

"What are you talking about? How could I let you work for free?" In a hurry, Li Yanhong wouldn't be stingy, "If you can really get it done in a few days, I'll give you an extra 10% cut from this government project."

"It's a deal."

Money was being handed to him on a silver platter, Meng Fanqi was somewhat surprised.
