FaceMe® Enables Customers to Integrate Biometric Technology with MediaTek i350 AI Chipset Platform for AIoT devices

TAIPEI, TAIWAN – October 15, 2020 – CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), a pioneer of AI and facial recognition technologies, announced a strategic technology partnership with MediaTek (2454.TW), a global fabless semiconductor company. CyberLink’s FaceMe® AI biometric authentication engine will now support MediaTek’s i350 Edge AI platform. The partnership enables biometric technologies installation on a wide range of smart appliances, smart homes, public interface kiosks and retail point-of-sale systems for advanced security and authentication features.

As a leading global brand with expertise in smart handheld devices, smart homes, wireless technologies and other connected solutions, MediaTek launched the i350 edge AI platform designed for mainstream AIoT applications that require vision and voice edge processing. The edge AI platform was built using an ultra-efficient 14nm process and incorporates a dedicated APU (AI processor) and DSP (digital signal processor) to enable computer vision and speech applications with greater performance and power efficiency across AIoT applications.

To support the MediaTek i350 edge AI platform, CyberLink’s FaceMe® facial recognition engine provides functionality for facial detection, recognition and feature extraction, capable of conducting identity verification in merely 0.12 second. Due to MediaTek’s NeuroPilot platform, the computing speed of FaceMe®, powered by deep learning algorithms, can be considerably increased. By utilizing the processing power of NeuroPilot, i350 provides up to three times performance gain for facial recognition and face attribute extraction. Biometric identification can be used for deployments across a myriad of industries and use cases, including security, access control, public safety, smart retail, point-of-sale, ordering machines, digital signage and home protection.

“The addition of biometric identification to AIoT creates an incredible opportunity to improve security and access control with edge devices,” said Dr. Jau Huang, CEO of CyberLink. “It’s our honor to join MediaTek’s AIoT ecosystem. Through the integration of FaceMe® and i350, system integrators will now have access to the most efficient yet low-power consumption applications with identity verification, providing a new class of industry infrastructure to move the biometric technology forward.”

Based on machine learning and deep neural networks, CyberLink FaceMe® has an accuracy rate of 99.7%. It ranks amongst the most precise and fastest facial recognition engines in the United States’ National Institute of Standards and Technology Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT). Built for Windows, Linux, Android and iOS, FaceMe® is ideal for cross-platform solutions. It is optimized to run on high-end workstations with CPU or GPU to low-power chipsets typically used in IoT devices—capable of being deployed virtually anywhere.

Talma will deploy FaceMe® across select airports it operates in for touchless biometric authentication with health and safety screening of employees

Taipei, Taiwan — October 13, 2020—CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), a pioneer of AI and facial recognition technologies, today announced a partnership with Talma, a Latin America airport services company, to utilize the FaceMe® AI facial recognition engine for its internal operations. The integration will facilitate identity verification, mask and temperature detection, touchless access control, attendance tracking and workplace capacity control.

Talma’s mission is to deliver vital airport services that guarantee the security, efficiency and quality required by its clients, collaborators and regulators – providing ground assistance services, passenger services, aircraft maintenance and training services.

Talma will begin to deploy the FaceMe® technology throughout the airports in Colombia first and plans to expand across more airports in Latin America. Given increasing social distancing regulations introduced as a result of the COVID pandemic, FaceMe® will not only help Talma keep its employees safe and healthy by ensuring masks are worn and temperatures are checked, but it will also streamline additional workplace management operations.

“Large facilities and airports require a very strict access control environment to ensure the security and safety of employees. FaceMe® is the perfect technology to enable airport service providers to reach operational excellence while meeting newly introduced health and safety guidelines,” said Dr. Jau Huang, CEO and Chairman, CyberLink. “Talma is one of the most trusted airport service operators across Latin America and this partnership speaks volumes to its commitment to not only the productivity and security of its entire workforce, but also their health and safety.”

“We pride ourselves on being an innovative organization always on the search for new technologies, processes and certifications that will truly benefit the airports we operate in,” said Gonzalo Aristizabal, General Manager for Talma Colombia. “CyberLink’s FaceMe® AI biometric engine is the perfect tool for us to streamline access control and health checks, including mask detection and temperature checks, for our staff so they can deliver the highest caliber of service to our airport clients.”

The FaceMe® update provides users with a comprehensive security and health monitoring solution for access and pandemic control

Taipei, Taiwan— October 6, 2020—CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), a pioneer of AI and facial recognition technologies, today announced FaceMe® Security’s Health Add-on, the ultimate unobtrusive health-monitoring solution for any facility. The AI engine recognizes if a person is wearing a mask properly over their nose and mouth, verifies identity, and measures temperature. Upon detecting a person with a fever, someone not wearing a mask, or an individual on a ‘block-list’, a notification is sent to health or security personnel via discreet messaging on CyberLink’s U platform. The solution is ideal for a wide range of deployments, from commercial buildings and plants to retail stores, restaurants and hotels, and institutional locations like hospitals, schools and airports.

Providing a robust, edge-based end-to-end surveillance and health solution, FaceMe® Security runs on GPU/VPU equipped computers for real-time face detection and identity verification. With the Health Add-on function integrated in FaceMe® Security, health and safety personnel get critical identity, temperature and mask compliance information even before approaching visitors, ensuring everything is handled in the safest possible way.

While most identity detection tools struggle to properly detect individuals wearing a mask, the FaceMe® Security Health Add-on provides an accuracy rate with masks of up to 95%. It identifies spoofing or improper use of masks while detecting acceptable face coverings, even if someone is not looking straight into the camera.

“Due to COVID-19, we’ve seen incredible growth in demand for authentication solutions that remain accurate even when masks are worn. Thanks to our flexible AI technology that is constantly refined and improved, CyberLink developed highly accurate tools that not only verify identity but also check mask usage and temperature,” said Dr. Jau Huang, CEO and Chairman, CyberLink. “Facilities are dealing with the unprecedented challenge of adjusting quickly to new health guidelines while also maintaining security standards. We’re excited to release a solution to help them do both with ease and accuracy.”
