The power of facial recognition technology is proving divisive. The systems are already being used to improve security, identify missing people and deliver smart personalised services, but there’s genuine concern that the technology could lead to a ‘Big Brother’ surveillance society.
We’re arguably at the start of the facial recognition revolution. Greater computing power, edge processing, cloud computing and artificial intelligence are making systems ever smarter, giving them the ability to understand how people are reacting, as well as what they look like.
The China International Industry Fair held in Shanghai gave us the ideal opportunity to introduce our new family of VIA Edge AI systems powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon 820E Embedded Platform.
