Understanding the essence and invitations from transformers who control DX Vol.3 Key technologies that are indispensable for promoting DX are approaching the latest trends and business transformation

The world that NEC is proud of.1 biometric authentication technology

Tanimoto: Today, I would like to welcome Mr. Imaoka, who has led the world with face recognition technology, and hear about the technologies that are essential for DX.I think companies and organizations are most interested in how they can use various technology in business and business.

　Please tell me the wide technology of NEC and even specific application examples.

Imaoka: I am currently supervising digital technology as a "DX fellow", but I have been studying face authentication for almost 20 years before that, so I will first introduce NEC biological authentication.。

　In addition to face authentication, NEC handles a wide range of biometric authentications such as iris, fingerprints and palms, finger venous, ear sound, and voice, and is systematized as "Bio-IDIOM".Companies that handle so many biometric authentications are rare in the world.In addition, NEC's biological authentication technology has reached the world's top -level accuracy.Face authentication and iris authentication are the world's NO in 2021..We acquired 1 evaluation and achieved two crowns *.A total of 6 times for face authentication, two iris authentication, and a total of eight fingerprint authentication..It shines in 1.There are other companies that have received world -class evaluations by individual biometric authentication, but I think that only NECs in the world have a high reputation of this comprehensive biometrics.increase.

Tanimoto: From such a track record, it seems that NEC's face recognition technology was used in a global sporting event held in Japan in 2021.

Imaoka: We delivered the identity verification system by face authentication when the tournament official entered the entire competition venue and the player village.I have heard that a system that allows not only Japanese but also people from all over the world has been very useful for enhancing security.

　In April, the SMBC Toyosu Building, where the Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group was opened, was introduced in the entire SMBC Toyosu Building.In order to perform high -precision identity verification while wearing a mask, we have reduced the risk of expanding infectious diseases such as new colon virus, and realizes smooth entrance and exit without having anything.

　The major feature is that it can prevent spoofing and entering and exempt from the stolen or loss of employee cards, and combines convenience and security.

Tanimoto: It's amazing that you can steadily authenticate various people from all over the world, from tall players over 2 meters to wheelchair players.Moreover, even if you are wearing a mask, you can distinguish yourself, which is a great accuracy.

Imaoka: NEC's face authentication has been compatible with mask wearing, but with the expansion of the new colon virus infection, we have developed a new face authentication engine.99 for various colors, patterns, and shapes.Boasts a certification rate of 9 % or more.

　In addition, the "multi -modal type" biological authentication terminal, which combines face authentication and iris authentication, is also approaching practical, and a total of three features, a different characteristics of different irises between the face and left and right eyes.The following authentication accuracy has been realized.This is a figure that can cover the whole population of the world, and I think it can be used globally in financial payments and medical sites that require strict identity verification in the future.
