Xailient’s Face Recognition enables high-speed edge AI processing with low-power consumption using Sony’s IMX500 – a chip so small it can fit on the tip of your finger.

On the IMX500, Xailient provides the world’s most power-efficient Face Recognition AI. The solution uses an architecture exclusive to the IMX500 and built from Xailient’s patented Detectum™ neural network. Customers will be able to obtain the solution through Sony’s edge AI sensing platform AITRIOS™. Early access is now open upon direct contact.

The results are impressive, with a 100% edge processing solution also addressing privacy concerns on a tiny chip that only recognizes the faces of registered users who have opted-in. People who aren’t registered remain anonymous.

But what’s most important is that a person’s face can be correctly identified with 97.8% accuracy, up to a distance of 3-meters.

There are many applications for face recognition, but the major ones include:

Personalization of consumer electronics
Family login/Parent control
Occupant recognition
Lars Oleson, CEO and co-founder of Xailient, said, “Up until today, accuracy required cloud processing which is terrible for privacy. With this solution, Xailient’s customers can solve the biggest problems with Face Recognition: accuracy and privacy protection.”

Dr. Shivy Yohanandan, Chief Scientist and co-founder of Xailient, said, “The IMX500 is a game-changer for the smart camera market. Delivering the image sensor and AI processing on a single chip has dramatic power efficiency benefits, which is important to extending battery life.”

Ray Edwards, Xailient’s VP of Market Development, said, “This should sell like hotcakes! Anyone building a smart camera system would be nuts not to consider the IMX500. This is the new standard.”
