TOKYO, September 3, 2024 – (JCN Newswire) – – NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701) will launch a new system using biometric authentication technology that can quickly authenticate many people at the same time, even while walking. The system is expected to speed up entry and reduce congestion for busy events and infrastructure. NEC will begin providing the system globally in September 2024, initially focusing on Japan, the United States, and Singapore.
In recent years, the number of visitors to airports, train stations, tourist attractions and other entertainment facilities in Japan has increased. But at the same time, the expansion and addition of facilities to reduce congestion is not constant. In airports in particular, the number of passengers in Japan is expected to double () in 2041 compared to 2019, and there is a need to increase the efficiency of passenger services. Conventionally, when many people have converged in areas such as themes. parks, offices, factories, etc., a heavy amount of noise has occurred, along with long lines at flapper gates and security screening areas. This new system features world-class face recognition technology NEC and matching technology, which evaluates the characteristics of movement and clothing for fast detect people in the defined area. Furthermore, the system can continue to identify people biometrically even when passing through crowded areas. In addition, the system can authenticate many people on the move, including up to 100 people per minute in real time. Since the system does not require gates, as in conventional admission control systems, it reduces lines and congestion without expanding or improving existing facilities, thus increasing convenience and efficiency. , the system can provide visual cues on display or lighting installed overhead or on the floor.
NEC introduced this system to employees at its headquarters in Tokyo in July 2024.
System features 1. Simultaneous authentication of multiple people in real time
This system enables simultaneous authentication of many people in real time and allows users to pass without stopping, thus improving authentication efficiency. In various usage scenarios, such as airports and entertainment facilities, this system will contribute to reducing congestion and improving operational efficiency.
2. Ease of installation
This system can be used as little as a single camera (minimum configuration) and a small palm-sized peripheral terminal that incorporates hardware acceleration technology. This enables deployment in multiple locations and cost-effective expansion.
3. Flexible integration with various applications to meet the needs of the company
This system can be implemented flexibly to meet the needs of the company, and can be used in various use cases through integration with various applications. In the future, the system could be integrated with AR glasses and other devices to improve safety and usability.
