CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), a pioneer of AI and facial recognition technologies has integrated its AI facial recognition engine, FaceMe, in MediaTek’s new AIoT platform, Genio. The pairing of FaceMe’s accurate and versatile engine with the high-performing and power-efficient Genio platform gives the market a premium edge AI solution for rich facial recognition AIoT applications.
Top-ranked globally by the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Facial Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) – with an accuracy rate of 99.7% and error rate (False Match Rate) as low as 1 in 1 million- CyberLink’s cross-platform AI facial recognition engine, FaceMe already supports numerous operating systems and is optimized for IoT and AIoT platforms.
With the recent MediaTek’s Genio 1200 integration, FaceMe further provides IoT/AIoT developers and system integrators precise facial recognition capabilities for flexible deployment across various industries and use cases, including security, access control, public safety, smart banking and smart retail. By bringing compute power to where the data is collected, edge computing provides rapid recognition times (within milliseconds), low latency, high privacy and security, scalability, improved neural networks, and more efficient use of network bandwidth.
MediaTek Genio is a comprehensive platform stack for the AIoT, encompassing power-efficient chips, open platform software development kits (SDKs), a complete set of AI model fine-tuning tools, and technical support. As the flagship chip in the Genio family, Genio 1200 is designed for premium AIoT products and their edge processing needs. With a chipset combination of CPU, GPU, and AI Processing Unit that maximizes AI capabilities, it perfectly meets the superior multimedia performance and power efficiency needs of AI facial recognition technology like FaceMe. As a result, the FaceMe-Genio 1200 integration has already produced outstanding results on Android devices.
“AI-driven applications are at the forefront of innovation, and our mission is to provide the MediaTek Genio AIoT platform to drive the latest and greatest technologies at the edge,” said Richard Lu, Vice President of MediaTek’s AIoT Business Unit. “We are looking forward to seeing what kind of incredible new experiences arise as a result of CyberLink’s facial recognition capabilities powered by Genio 1200.”
“As AIoT and the number of use cases continue to grow, the market will demand higher-performing and more power-efficient solutions for their AI purposes,” said Dr. Jau Huang, CEO of CyberLink. “Our partnership with MediaTek couples Genio’s AI-enhanced hardware capabilities with FaceMe’s quick, reliable, and accurate facial recognition engine to meet these demands.”
