Xperi To Introduce FaceSafe, FotoNation’s Depth-Based Face Recognition Solution, At Mobile World Congress 2018

FaceSafe™ Features Enhanced Security and Reliability for Anti-Spoofing

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–FotoNation, a global leader in computational imaging, computer vision and facial analytics solutions, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Xperi Corporation (Nasdaq: XPER) (“Xperi”), has announced that its new FaceSafe™, a depth-based face recognition solution for mobile devices, will be introduced and demonstrated at Mobile World Congress 2018, February 26 to March 1, in Barcelona. Featuring neural network technology and state of the art liveness detection to prevent spoofing, FaceSafe provides exceptional accuracy by fusing depth information with facial features. Demonstrations of FotoNation’s FaceSafe solution will be available at the Xperi booth, located in the Fira Gran Via’s Hall 1, Stand 1E60.

FotoNation’s FaceSafe solution offers enhanced security and speed with a false acceptance rate of one in one million and a fast execution time that is less than 150 milliseconds. Its state-of-the-art anti-spoofing detection provides premium protection and personalization, while its small memory footprint yields power and system cost savings. FaceSafe also works with occlusions such as sunglasses and has the ability to work in diverse light conditions.

“FotoNation’s FaceSafe solution is an exciting step toward bringing a robust 3D face recognition solution to market, and we are thrilled to showcase the technology at Mobile World Congress,” said Geir Skaaden, executive vice president and chief products and services officer at Xperi Corporation. “The need for protection and customization becomes more prominent as biometric face recognition continues to impact the mobile market. FaceSafe’s cutting-edge technology is tackling these challenges to provide secure, class-leading user experiences.”

As the global mobile biometrics market continues to be a fast-growing segment with an expected CAGR growth of more than 79 percent from 2017 to 2021¹, FotoNation continues to adapt its technology offerings to the new and emerging application space and addresses the challenges of security and personalization with FaceSafe. FotoNation provides a comprehensive biometric and computer vision portfolio and is a one-stop provider for its customers.

Xperi Announces FotoNation’s Third-Generation Image Processing Unit

Company’s First Real-Time AI-Enabled Imaging Engine Provides Support for Encrypted Networks

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–FotoNation, a global leader in computational imaging, computer vision and facial analytics solutions and a wholly owned subsidiary of Xperi Corporation (Nasdaq: XPER) (“Xperi”), is pleased to announce the availability of its third-generation Image Processing Unit (IPU), the company’s first real-time AI-enabled imaging engine with support for encrypted networks. FotoNation’s newest IPU is the industry’s first engine of its kind, raising the bar for user data security, privacy, trust and authentication in the context of edge computing. Demonstrations of the IPU will be available at Mobile World Congress 2018 at the Xperi booth, located in the Fira Gran Via’s Hall 1, Stand 1E60.

FotoNation’s latest IPU showcases more than a decade of experience in hardware design and hybrid deployment. The purpose built IP core brings together signal processing and sensor fusion for optimum analytics. It has been designed with deep learning-based imaging solutions at its heart to deliver better user experiences by understanding, enhancing and personalizing your world.

This IPU is built upon an imaging infrastructure capable of generating billions of ground truth data sets for training and validation. FotoNation’s verification and testing framework has tens of millions of marked real world images essential to successful deployment.

“We believe that AI and neural networks will play a significant role in the future of real-time camera applications on the edge, where latency, lower bandwidth and substantially reduced power consumption are key in delivering always-on applications,” said Geir Skaaden, executive vice president and chief products and services officer, Xperi Corporation. “The third generation of our IPU core uniquely provides secure edge computing by decrypting neural networks in real time with no penalty on performance.”

With traditional memory architecture, delivering high quality camera experiences can often result in off-chip bandwidth and large power consumption. However, FotoNation’s IPU is designed to run multiple concurrent image enhancement and analytics solutions with no penalty to their individual application performance.
