NEC has had its facial recognition technology classified by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)\u00a0*1<\/sup>\u00a0as the world's most accurate benchmark test*2<\/sup>\u00a0conducted by the entity. At the time, NEC received the highest performance evaluation in \u201c1:N Identification\u201d*3<\/sup>, which consists of static images of 12 million different people, achieving an authentication accuracy rate of 99.88%.<\/p>\n

NEC also ranked first in three other tests*4<\/sup>\u00a0\u2014 including one on aging effects, in which photos taken more than 10 years earlier were used for identification \u2014 and placed in the top three in all categories of the Facial Recognition Technology Assessment (FRTE) 1:N Identification leader board , which are published on the NIST website.<\/p>\n

Since beginning participation in 2009, NEC has ranked first in the world multiple times in the \u201c1:N Identification\u201d test, which requires the highest accuracy of all devices.\u00a0benchmarks<\/em>\u00a0facial recognition systems conducted by NIST*5<\/sup>. While continuously working to improve the performance of its core algorithm, NEC has simultaneously deployed real-world facial recognition cases, operating in more than 50 countries and regions around the world.<\/p>\n

NEC's facial recognition technology has been implemented in approximately 80 airports worldwide and is used in places such as immigration, customs, boarding procedures and customer service. These applications have become one of the main use cases for facial recognition technology. Additionally, more than 1,000 organizations have adopted NeoFace Monitor, a system that allows users to log into their devices using facial recognition, improving both security and convenience models.*6<\/sup>. NEC also continues to be the industry leader in providing cloud-based facial recognition services, including more than 1 million registered users in Japan alone.<\/p>\n

Going forward, NEC's goal is to increase real-world adoption of its portfolio of biometric authentication systems, \u201cBio-IDiom*7<\/sup>, which includes facial recognition as a main component.<\/p>\n

NEC will continue to develop and provide solutions for a wide range of use cases, including multimodal biometric authentication*8<\/sup>, which combines facial and iris recognition to reduce false positive rates (the probability of authenticating the wrong person) to less than 1 in 10 billion, and gateless access control*9<\/sup>, which will improve ease of use by accurately authenticating multiple people at the same time. Furthermore, NEC must anticipate the growth of a \u201csovereign society\u201d in which people control their own personal information and increase its commitment to new businesses in the web3 space, leveraging technologies such as decentralized identity and blockchain.<\/p>\n

NEC is fully committed to following the NEC Group Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights Principles*10<\/sup>\u00a0in its use of AI, biometric data and other data, giving the highest priority to privacy and respect for human rights.<\/p>\n
