Networking firm Sighthound has announced that it has ported its advanced facial recognition software to mobile handheld platforms.In a statement, Sighthound said face detection, recognition and tracking software is the latest addition to the Sighthound Sentry suite of computer vision capabilities.The firm will be demonstrating cell phone and tablet based implementations at this week's CVPR conference in Las Vegas, Nevada.Sighthound specializes in building deep networks that run in real time and require less training data than those prevalent in the industry. Traditional deep networks are so computationally expensive that they require cloud based server arrays or GPU accelerated hardware.At CVPR Sighthound will demonstrate face detection, recognition and tracking software running on iPhone 6 and iPad Pro. The software is able to perform real time recognition on live video feeds, and is not restricted to still images or locked inside Apple applications.”Offering scalable computer vision software implementations from the cloud to embedded portable devices is essential to our value proposition,” said Stephen Neish, CEO of Sighthound. “Our mantra is to make computer vision easy to use — that now includes customers who want to deploy solutions on mobile devices.”
