The facial recognition system uses for the first time at the Olympic games in Tokyo
Source:The Japanese company NEC, one of the largest manufacturers of electronic, computer and telecommunications equipment in the world announced that it developed a system of facial recognition mass will be used in the course of the summer 2020 Olympic games and Paralympic games in Tokyo. The system is going to use to identify more than 300 000 people who will participate in the organization and coverage of the Games, including athletes, volunteers, media representatives and other personnel. This will be the first case of the use of such technology at the Olympic games.
Facial recognition System from NEC is built on the basis of an AI engine NeoFace, which is fundamental for the whole set of biometric authentication the Bio-Idiom. It includes recognition of the person's voice, fingerprint, iris, but the Olympics will only be used for technology identification photo. The system will verify accredited people using facial recognition, as well as special cards with an embedded microchip that will need to show to the camera a special apparatus. In HP claim that their development created using the leading technology of face recognition, as evidenced by the checks of the National Institute of standards and technology, USA.
According to the organizers, the Olympic games in Tokyo 2020 will leave a new challenge for them in terms of security. Unlike previous Games, where participants and staff of the Games constructed a separate Olympic Park, where people could travel freely between multiple locations and objects, events, Games 2020 will be distributed throughout the metropolis and people will need to authenticate on each of the visited locations. The task of the NEC and its system of face recognition is to simplify and speed up the process. No one wants the attendees had to spend a lot of time under the scorching summer Sun. The organizers believe that these Games will be the hottest over the past century. And it's not so much about the passions and excitement, but about the ambient temperature. Recall that the opening of the Games will be held on July 24, 2020. Experts predict this summer will be very hot.
Today in Japan, the NEC conducted a demonstration of how athletes and other Games participants will be identified. While using someone else's pass, the system simply will not miss a man further.
"First of all, it will prevent cases of abuse of his pass — for example, transfer it to others. This will allow in order to strengthen measures for the protection of objects, as well as to accelerate the process of passing them on staff," — said representatives of the company.
The Company even invited to the presentation of the former Olympic volleyball player growth 208 cm, demonstrating that the system will be able to work with people of any growth. Reporters noted rapid operation even when driving past it several people. On the phone's screen almost immediately displayed a photograph of the pass holder.
