Obviously the camera system can track humans walking around, but does it actually identify specific individuals? What does that number in the box with the chin

Obviously the camera system can track humans walking around, but does it actually identify specific individuals? What does that number in the box with the chinese text mean? Are they able to use facial recognition _everywhere_ and thus record where everyone is or, more importantly, was? I am skeptical that this can pulled off with current technology? Can it?

You could fuse the facial recognition data to phone radio base station tracking, bluetooth beacons and such to get multiple points of reference for verification. And tracking between workplaces, apartment buildings and transport turnstiles where you scan your personal ID.

But I don't believe a camera at a supermarket is able to do that. Only if you use digital payment, or online shopping.

It cannot Source: I worked in a related field for five years, and evaluated a lot of technologies from major players.
