FacePhi and CyberLink earned passing marks in evaluations to the biometric presentation attack detection (PAD) standard from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to demonstrate that their face biometrics systems can detect fraud attacks known as spoofing. The trials were conducted by iBeta Quality Assurance in Colorado, which is certified by U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NIST NVLAP). FacePhi received confirmation of its ISO/IEC 30107-3 Level 2 compliance to prove its facial recognition system's protection against identity fraud and impersonation with more sophisticated attack methods. The test consisted of FacePhi's digital onboarding and authentication solutions being subjected to phishing attacks using animation software, latex and resin masks, and 3D photography. "With this letter of compliance granted by iBeta, FacePhi demonstrates that its technology is strong and resistant to attacks, both level 1 and level 2 in accordance with ISO 30107-3", says Jorge Félix, quality and systems director of FacePhi.

Facial Recognition technology detects faces in the camera's field of view and matches them against faces previously stored in a database. Anti-spoofing is provided through liveness testing without the need for a stereo or a 3D camera. Face Recognition technology is now taking a further step as it is being combined with IP surveillance. Gemalto, a part of the Thales Group and a company that focuses on Digital Identification and Data Protection in order to counter the two root causes of cyberattacks, identity theft, and unencrypted data, defines Facial Recognition as the process of identifying or verifying the identity of a person using their face. It is a technology that captures, analyzes, and compares patterns based on the person's facial details. The face detection process is a basic and essential step allowing the systems to detect and locate human faces in a set of images and videos.

TAIPEI, Taiwan–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), a pioneer of AI and facial recognition technologies, participated in the Intel Edge Computing Solution Summit. The summit brought together leaders from the IoT industry who shared insights on AI edge computing's latest breakthroughs and the opportunities that this technology will bring in the future. Dr. Jau Huang, CyberLink's founder and CEO, was invited to speak about the benefits of edge computing and how it enables precise, fast, affordable and secure AIoT use cases including facial recognition, such as the company's FaceMe AI-based engine. With FaceMe, CyberLink has leveraged edge-based technology and AI to deliver one of the world's most precise, flexible and best performing facial recognition engines. Compared with cloud-based solutions, edge computing is much cheaper, greatly enhances flexibility and provides real-time response, helping system integrators quickly develop and add new functionalities into existing systems and new AIoT products.

Rapid advances are happening in artificial intelligence, computer vision, and big data. One event in Silicon Valley is showcasing how those technologies are converging to transform our work and daily lives. More than 12,000 people from around the world are attending the Internet of Things Tech Expo to see the latest innovations. AlwaysAi is a platform helping to equip robots with computer vision. In the startup's demo, a robot recognizes that a toy action figure, The Hulk, has fallen and needs help.

CyberLink has released PhotoDirector 10, the newest version of its PhotoDirector image editing and design software. The latest installment brings a number of new features, including tethered shooting and an AI Style Engine. CyberLink has also made a number of improvements to layer editing. PhotoDirector 10 brings users workflow improvements, according to CyberLink, that are designed for "advanced photographers." The inclusion of tethered shooting enables users to directly connect a camera to their PC, shoot images, and instantly preview them on the computer.
