Universal Studios Japan®'s access control system employs NEC's face recognition engine "NeoFace". It can handle all the necessary face recognition processes, from detection to matching in one go. NeoFace detects "the eye-position" from the photograph and uses NEC's unique GLVQ algorithm to define the face area.
As this Engine can handle a million matching transactions per second, face recognition transaction speed is incredibly fast and it is applicable to the large scale identification system.
With this access control system, the waiting time of guests to enter is dramatically shortened. Thanks to this system, Universal Studios Japan® has succeeded in cutting operating costs by 30%.
