Face Recognition with 97% Accuracy at 10% of Apple Face ID Power

ESMChina presents Ginwatec Deep Neural Processor that implements face recognition with 97% accuracy at about 10-80x lower power than Apple Face ID. I wonder whether they find a good application for that:


Ark-Invest publishes a grossly incomplete list of Neural Processing chip companies:


Meanwhile, Alipay introduced face recognition-based "Smile to Pay" service in China:

    Don't understand why China wants to automate away the service jobs. It has a double digit unemployment rate, not to counting many underemployed. The pursuit of cutting edge technologies for the bragging rights doesn't serve the needs.

      I think you may forget there is a dot between the double digits.

    So she paid by entering some numbers after smiling, WOW, so NOT impressed, would have been faster to swipe an Apple Watch. :D 2D face authentication is not secure. Those presentations can play with numbers all they want, not even clear if they're referring to 2D+3D face authentication, without a working product... it's fluff.

    From 97% to 99.9999% claimed by Apple FaceID, there is a huge distance !!

    97% success rate means 1 in 33 failure rate. I.e. of 100,000 people, 3000 can pass as you and hack your account. That is the exact opposite of "secure".

    The false positive so far is with identification, ie one to one verification. The rate will go even higher once the recognition mode is enabled.

    Instead of "Smile to pay" I want "Frown to earn".
