Sen Corporation (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Nobuaki Chiba), which provides a photo sales service on the Internet mainly for educational institutions such as kindergartens, nursery schools and elementary schools, has launched the graduation and graduation album service "Yes Cheese! (https://8122.jp/), a service that sells photos on the internet mainly to kindergartens, nursery schools, elementary schools and other educational institutions, has added an AI "face search" function to its graduation album service "Yes Cheese! Online Album", adding an AI "face search" function that reduces work time.
By using this function in conjunction with the service's "automatic person aggregation function", which will be released in 2019, production time can be reduced by approximately one-half.
"Yes, Cheese! What is "Online Album"?
In the past, to produce a graduation album, a person in charge of producing the album had to be selected from among the teachers and parents, and the work (selection of photos for the album, communication with the production company, etc.) had to be done face-to-face. With the "Yes Cheese! Online Album" is a service that can be done online; it was released in 2018, and demand is growing this school year, especially due to the spread of the new coronavirus, which makes face-to-face work difficult.
The addition of face search to automatic person counting greatly reduces production time.
One of the time-consuming tasks in the production of graduation/graduation albums was to find the specific children whose photos would be used in the album to ensure that the children's photos were equally represented.
By introducing a new face search function using AWS' Amazon Rekognition, we can quickly and easily find a specific child from previous 'Yes Cheese! and used in conjunction with the company's 2019 release of automatic person aggregation, which aggregates the number of specific preschoolers on a page, the time involved in album production can be significantly reduced by a factor of two. The company states that this can significantly reduce the time involved in album production by one-half.
* Use of new functions is limited to certain groups.
The figure shows the average production time based on several kindergartens. Production times may vary from school to school.

Plans to improve usability and performance in the future
ONLINE ALBUM" CAN REDUCE THE WORKLOAD AND SHORTEN THE WORK TIME WHILE MAINTAINING THE WARMTH OF GRADUATION ALBUMS EVEN WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF IT. ONLINE ALBUM" SO THAT MANY PEOPLE CAN USE IT, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE DAILY IMPROVEMENTS BASED ON CUSTOMER FEEDBACK TO IMPROVE USABILITY AND PERFORMANCE.
Due to the closure of the school and the cancellation of events due to the Corona disaster, the number of photos taken this year will be less than usual in some areas. Because of this, we will have to make effective use of the stock we have so far to produce the album, so it would be very helpful if we could streamline the organization of the photos. Also, I think it is a relief for the parents of the album committee members to be able to work face-to-face.
