YITU is dedicated to developing AI technology and perfecting the applications to myriad public security challenges. With its ample experience in public security solutions already in use, the company understands the range of demands from clients both in China and internationally.  

Based in Shanghai, YITU has been expanding both at home and abroad. In January YITU launched its first international office in Singapore to serve Southeast Asia and Oceania areas. The UK will be a strategic location for YITU as it builds its European market and growth into other markets including the Americas, Africa and the Middle East.

YITU's facial recognition solution is currently being used for security at Chinese tourist locations including ports, and public spaces which require high safety standards. YITU's algorithms can search over a billion image records in less than a second. Its urban intelligent security solutions cover everyday scenarios such as in airports, coach stations, subways, public transportation and shopping malls.

YITU's state-of-the-art algorithm won first place in the Face Recognition Vendor Test organized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and it also won the face identification accuracy segment of the Face Recognition Prize Challenge, hosted by the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA).
