Takumi Eyes, NTT Communications

NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) has developed "Takumi Eyes," a system that can identify and track a person even when only the back of the person's head is visible in security camera footage. Using the child's face image and full body image at that time, real-time tracking can be initiated for quick detection. In a demonstration experiment conducted by NTT Com, the detection rate of specific persons was increased from 17% to 82% when using Takumi Eyes in places where visual video surveillance was used. The time required for the security guards to check the video images was also reduced to a quarter because the video checking process was automated. With the tracking report output function, the preparation of reports can also be streamlined. Photo taken on October 24, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images
