Tessera One More Time Announces Face Reconition Technology

Yahoo: Tessera one more time announced its FotoNation FaceRecognition. Tessera acquired Fotonation at the beginning of 2008 for $29M (plus another $10M if some goals are met). By that time Fotonation already had face recognition product for sale.

I guess this announcement relates to an improvement version of it, although it's not clearly stated. The technology appears to be software based and available for a number of platforms, including COACH and ARM. No recognition speed or number of simultaneously recognized faces is mentioned, both being very important merits of the algorithm.

    Hello,
    I couldn't find any way for contact so I'll use the comments section.
    It's not related to Tessera face recognition. Can You comment on this article http://www.dpnet.com.cn/News/2/12014/1.shtml

    Hello,
    Is it possible to get a complete english version of the article cited above? Google translate is quite limited with japanese. Sorry this post is not related to Tessera article too.

    No I don't think there is such thing.
    Sorry that I didn't mention, the link is in chineese. It's barely translatable with babelfish.yahoo.
    Admin, sorry about the generated offtopic.

    To Anoymous,

    Your source has 2 parts:
    1) from 2006 report
    http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/article/HONSHI/20061115/123642/
    2) from 2009/9/21
    http://big5.nikkeibp.com.cn/news/elec/48016-20090921.html
    this article points out that Fujifilm has successfully developed the organic film to replace the silicon phtodiodes and got the color image.

    it also mentioned that CMOS sensor(FSI) has 3 defects:
    1) the transparency of the color filer
    2) stack height
    3) low QE

    BSI can solve the item 2)
    Fujifilm claims that the organic film can solve both 3 items, but in this research, it only solve th item2) & 3)

    Fujifilm plans to solve the item 1) by stacking different films which has specific absorbtion spectrum. (like Foven...)
