While the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea are just around the corner, attention is already turning to the 2020 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in Tokyo, Japan. As reports say that facial recognition will be used as a security measure at those games.
The Japan Times reported that the technology would be used to “make the entry of athletes, officials and journalists to the games paths easier and simpler”.
While audience could enter the sports studio without the check of the recognition treatment, the number of people from the groups that will be screened with facial recognition could total anywhere between 300,000 and 400,000. The extra layer of security will come on top of ID cards that will also be handed out to those participants.
The organizing committee tested the technology at Japan’s housing during the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was a moderate success though there were complaints of long waits. They hope to sort out the wait and other problems over the next 2.5 years ahead of the Tokyo Games which start in late July 2020.
NEC, the company handling the technology, also tested out their equipment at two Brazil airports during the 2016 Olympics and is behind lots of other similar projects, including software used by the Chicago Police.
Facial recognition is becoming more and more popular and the Olympics are just the latest area to use them for security purposes. Other examples of facial recognition tech in use include robot police in China, bridges and tunnels in New York City, and more widespread (and questionable) uses by the FBI.
