The China 5G Development Conference opened in Shanghai on Dec 12. The project from Baiyun district, Guangzhou, titled "5G+AI Driving Smart Urban Management," was awarded the second prize in the national finals of the 7th "Blossom Cup" 5G Application Competition.

The conference and competition aim to promote integration and innovation in 5G via cutting-edge technologies, accelerating the new productive forces of the digital economy. Over 44,000 5G application cases were collected for this edition of the competition, with 60 projects eventually making it to the national finals.

Baiyun's urban management personnel developed the "5G+drone+AI" low-altitude inspection model, establishing a comprehensive, three-dimensional, and intelligent low-altitude remote sensing monitoring network.

This system enables functions such as one-click takeoff for automatic inspections, high-precision real-time transmission of monitoring images, high-speed data downloads, multi-party data collection in one go, and automatic detection of urban governance issues. The system has received several national awards, serving as a model for urban governance.

On Nov 25, Tong Qingxi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a remote sensing expert, conducted a technological appraisal of Baiyun's smart urban management system. He stated that the system's overall achievements have reached an internationally advanced level, and that it is an international leader in the detection of small-scale target changes at the material level of drones.

Baiyun will continue to deepen the application of 5G and artificial intelligence, promoting comprehensive reform in urban governance to become a smart, livable, and resilient district.
