Software and engineering firm Cadence Design Systems has announced that Sensory's TrulySecure face authentication software is now available on the Cadence Tensilica Vision P5 digital signal processor (DSP).Cadence says that the new technology makes it much easier for mobile designers to lower the power needed for face authentication to unlock a mobile phone, tablet, or their Internet of Things (IoT) device using a standard camera.Sensory's face recognition technology uses a standard mobile phone camera to identify a user and authenticate his or her face to unlock the device. By utilizing the Tensilica Vision P5 DSP and Cadence's extensive imaging/vision software function library, which is optimized to lower processing time by over 8X compared to a standard host CPU, system designers can easily deploy Sensory's tech.”Our work with Cadence to offer Sensory's advanced TrulySecure facial recognition technology on the Tensilica Vision P5 DSPs enables their customers, including those in emerging verticals like wearables and IoT, to take full advantage of the security offered by our embedded face biometric authentication in their product designs,” said Dr. Gordon Haupt, senior director of Vision Technology at Sensory.Cadence notes that the Tensilica family of imaging/vision DSPs was designed for the complex algorithms in imaging, video and computer vision applications including innovative multi-frame image capture, video pre- and post-processing, object and face recognition, low-light enhancement and many other complex tasks.
