The face of advanced camera technology

Facial recognition cameras are gaining widespread adoption as they can instantly improve security and customer experience. Faces that are captured in videos can be matched against a database of faces and used differently in different applications in real time.

Avnet has introduced an advanced facial recognition camera based on massive neural networks, enabling a powerful algorithm that runs on a large-scale face database. The use of Deephi's exclusive Deep Compression technology makes it possible to run this powerful neural network on Xilinx's cost-effective FPGAs. Face detection, tracing and quality filtering as well as face feature extraction and comparison can even be supported. What’s more, external linkage devices can be directly controlled through I/O while a built-in supercap protects the data integrity of the TF Card. And with its asymmetric SOC architecture, IPCamera SOC and FPGA, this camera doesn’t just pack a punch, but performs professionally as well.
