NHN Launches Self-Developed 'Face Recognition' Service... Accelerating AI Business

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] NHN announced on the 7th that it has launched a facial recognition service developed using its proprietary AI (artificial intelligence) technology.

The newly introduced facial recognition service was developed through a machine learning-based facial dataset training process. It enables facial detection, analysis, comparison, and identity verification, and is expected to provide customized services in various online and offline environments requiring facial identification, such as finance, healthcare, and commerce.

NHN will first apply the facial recognition service at the access gates within the NHN headquarters, utilizing it for employee entry. This allows for quick identity verification and access by matching the photos of registered employees with their faces when approaching terminals equipped with the service, even without a separate access card.

Additionally, the facial recognition service will be integrated into the AI proctoring system introduced last year for recruitment, establishing a more advanced unmanned recruitment system environment. It will also be used for candidate identity verification during the NHN Edu NSAT online competition scheduled for July, and will be expanded as both internal and external services to suit contactless environments.

Furthermore, starting with the facial recognition service, NHN plans to commercialize AI-based services such as OCR (optical character recognition), similar image search (fashion search), vehicle license plate recognition, voice recognition, and voice synthesis within this year.

All AI-based services commercialized this year, including the facial recognition service, will be provided free of charge to demand organizations and related companies at the National AI Data Center to be established in Gwangju. NHN stated at the Gwangju AI Data Center groundbreaking ceremony held in February that it will offer various AI technologies to help local companies, research institutes, and universities develop AI services more conveniently.
