NXP Semiconductors today announced the release of its offline vision solution, SLN-VIZN-IOT, a comprehensive, integrated development platform that includes a hardware module design and associated software required to implement offline face and expression recognition.
Based on NXP's i.MX RT106F crossover microcontroller, the company's turnkey face and expression recognition solution enables original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to quickly, easily and inexpensively incorporate face and expression recognition into a diverse range of Internet-of-Things (IoT) products.
The solution provides low latency and eliminates the need for cloud connectivity. Additionally it is designed to remove the cost and overhead associated with an MPU-based system. The i.MX RT106F leverages NXP's vision processing engine to provide a breakthrough in price and performance, using a neural network to perform face detection, recognition and anti-spoofing.
Developers can now take advantage of NXP's MCU-based solution to offer advanced human machine interface (HMI) capabilities that can anticipate and personalize the end user's experience with smart edge devices such as smart appliances, thermostats, lighting, alarms and power tools.
The SLN-VIZN-IOT development kit is available now, priced at an MSRP of $199 USD. Find additional details about the kit and i.MX RT106F MCU, with ordering information for both, at: NXP EdgeReady MCU-Based Solution for Face Recognition
