NEC Face Recognition Technology Ranks First in NIST Accuracy Testing
Summary
49 organizations, including companies from the United States, China, Russia, Europe, and Japan, participated in the NIST’s FRVT 2018, where the evaluation of face recognition accuracy was performed. These tests are the most rigorous and fair benchmarks implemented by the NIST as each organization is required to submit and be evaluated on programs that were developed during the same period. Going forward, NEC aims to further expand the scope of this technology’s application to include store transaction settlements, services in public facilities, such as buses, railways, airports, city offices, and hospitals; and helping to protect and care for children and the elderly. NEC also aims to contribute to further improvements in the usability of biometric identification and video analytics technology, including face recognition. “These technologies create new value by sharing information on the status of communities, things, and processes across the entire value chain, and are a meaningful source of growth in our Mid-term Management Plan 2020 and ‘NEC Safer Cities’ (*5), which support the realization of safe, secure, efficient, and equal cities.” About NEC Corporation For more information, visit NEC at http://www.nec.com.
