High Face ToleranceHigh Face Recognition Rate
High Light Tolerance
In millions of face database
application scenarios, face
recognition rate is as high as 90%
Recognition rate is almost not
affected by glasses, beard, hair
style, expression of shade
Face gesture change within 30° can
be recognized, Face size with min
28 pixels can be detected, with min
50 pixels can be recognized.
Intelligent exposure to get best face
image under strong light, low
illumination or any other complex light
condition
High speed
Match speed is less than 1 second in
millions of face databases(HIGHEST IN
THE WORLD)
Fastest and most accurate 3D
World’s fastest and most accurate
3D engine developed fully by Ayonix
scientists in Tokyo.

32. What camera does
Camera converts frames to face templates
Ayonix embedded software runs inside camera. Software converts live
streams, detect and tracks faces, extracts gender/age, smile attributes and
then generates afids(template) and transfers all generated afids to the
server.
33. Face features in the camera
Detection
Find one or faces in an image and
gives landmarks of eyes, nose,
mouth corners
Identification
Matches faces for one-to-Many
(Answers "who is the person?”)
3D Face construction
Camera constructs 3D Face
model from each 2D camera
stream
Age analysis
Finds ages of faces
20 years old? 30 years old?
Gender analysis
Determines the gender of all
faces (male? or female?)
Smile analysis
Gives a smiling score for all faces
detected in the image.
