Image Recognition
Activating devices via edge facial recognitionFrance-based research institute Leti has unveiled an autonomous imager technology capable of activating mobile devices and small appliances via facial recognition, which it says is the first of its kind. The new µWAI (micro-WAY) biometric device is as small as a coin, and features a readout and processing architecture with an optimized artificial intelligence (AI)-powered algorithmic pipeline. The device’s advanced features not only help manufacturers to keep costs down but also enable highly reliable decision-taking within a very small pJ/pixel/frame. Moving forward, Dupret said CEA-Leti will utilize its partnership with STMicroelectronics to explore further applications of the technology.
