The admission control system is intended for Season Pass and Summer Pass ticket holders (*5). 51 admission gates at the entrances to the Expo site will be equipped with face recognition to prevent impersonation through ticket lending and borrowing, etc. When a person with a valid pass enters the Expo site, a QR code on their ticket is read by a gate, and then additional face recognition is performed by a camera installed at the gate. The number of registered visitors is expected to reach 1.2 million, making it the largest face recognition service provided by NEC in Japan.
In addition, Season Pass and Summer Pass ticket holders will be able to use both the on-site payment and admission services with a single face registration (*6), providing a comfortable and convenient experience at the Expo site.
This service is available to customers who have registered and agreed to the use of their biometric information. All personal information, including facial images, will be safely stored within a platform in Japan. Personal information will not be used for any other purpose without an individual's consent.
NEC provides the "NEC Digital Platform" for supporting the realization of digital transformation (DX) for customers, including strategic consulting and implementation. In addition to the Expo, NEC utilizes its leading biometric authentication technology, one of the core technologies of the NEC Digital Platform, to implement safe, secure, and reliable technologies throughout society and in cooperation with a wide variety of partners. NEC has ranked first in the world multiple times in the "1:N authentication" test, which requires higher accuracy than any other face recognition technology benchmark test sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States. While improving the performance of the core algorithm, NEC has promoted the social implementation of face recognition and developed face recognition business in more than 50 countries and territories around the world.
The technology has been deployed in 80 airports globally, and is being used in various applications such as immigration, customs declaration, boarding procedures, and hospitality, and is becoming a representative use case for face recognition technology.
