LAS VEGAS, Jan. 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Megvii (also known as Face++) is a world-leading artificial intelligence (AI)-based IoT solution provider. Megvii built the first industry-level face identification model in 2011, which opened the AI era in China.
Yet the time-honored brand is looking into the future and making its debut with a bunch of AI applications, such as unlocking and payment with face identification, at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the United States, from January 8th to 11th.
The Face Unlocking technology for mobile devices, developed by Megvii, can be applied to any Android devices from entry-level to high-end products, no matter with a single camera or dual cameras or 3D cameras. It runs extremely fast, making device unlocking and mobile payment more convenient and secure.
This solution is built upon two Megvii technologies: MegBrain, the company’s own deep learning engine, and ShuffleNet, a lightweight convolutional neural network optimized for mobile devices.
There are other application scenarios at CES brought by Megvii. For instance, AI-based virtual makeup and lighting effects, dual-camera and triple-camera solutions, super-image quality and AI-based imaging noise reduction, and also AI vision solution for vehicles. All these technologies are going to make mobile devices smarter.
The brand talked about the application scenarios for an intelligent future and its concepts of interaction between human and machines.
By taking part in the CES, said Megvii, the company not only presented its technologies to a wide audience, but it can also learn more about the latest AI trends and network with manufacturers and IT companies.
Megvii has established collaboration with ams, Bellus3D, Qualcomm and MediaTek at CES, to include them into its AI ecosystem. This ecosystem, built by Megvii, has already covered the whole industrial chain of AI devices. Over 300 million mobile phones are powered by the intelligent device solutions from Megvii.
We believe Megvii will come onto the world stage in a more confident and graceful way, and help Chinese industry's effort to go upward as a whole. Said the brand in a statement.
CES is the world's gathering place for all those who thrive on the business of consumer technologies. It has served as the proving ground for innovators and breakthrough technologies for 50 years — the global stage where next-generation innovations are introduced to the marketplace.
