NHN Obtains KISA Biometric Authentication... Face Recognition Accuracy '100%'

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] NHN's facial recognition technology has achieved a 100% recognition rate and obtained biometric authentication certification from the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA).

On the 26th, NHN announced that it passed the performance standards by recording a 0% error rate in facial recognition during KISA's 'Biometric System Testing and Certification.'

The biometric system certification is the only domestic certification test conducted by the Biometric Information Testing Center (K-NBTC) and certified by KISA. It currently provides performance testing and certification services for fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, iris recognition, and vein recognition.

The NHN facial recognition algorithm that obtained this certification was independently developed through a learning process of a segmented facial image dataset based on an advanced deep learning technology.

A notable feature is the enhanced model training process that can extract unique facial characteristics without being affected by lighting, facial expressions, hairstyles, and other factors.

NHN's facial recognition technology was previously recognized for its technical prowess by ranking second domestically in the 'Border Image' category of the facial recognition test (FRVT) conducted by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

NHN plans to expand the application of its facial recognition service mainly in the financial sector, including introducing the solution into Shinhan Bank's non-face-to-face remote work system.

Additionally, within this year, NHN plans to continuously commercialize AI-based services such as OCR (Optical Character Recognition), similar image recommendation (fashion), camera search, fashion deep tagging, vehicle license plate recognition, voice recognition, and voice synthesis.

Kwon Kyung-hee, head of NHN's AI Strategy Team, said, "We consider it meaningful that NHN's technology, which has continued AI research, has been recognized once again," adding, "We will continue to present and advance technologies and services that can represent domestic AI."
