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.
