CyberLink Corp. announced a strategic partnership with IEI Integration Corp., enabling the FaceMe® AI facial recognition engine on IEI's industrial computers. The joint solution brings CyberLink's industry leading facial recognition technology to more smart AIoT devices across multiple industries and scenarios, such as retail and security.

The partnership allows FaceMe® to seamlessly integrate with IEI's FLEX-BX200 AI modular box PC, supporting AI acceleration on the Mustang-V100-MX8 VPU (video processing unit), and providing rapid, deep neural network computing. Compared to a pure CPU solution, the acceleration achieved from the VPU integration with FaceMe® provides 17.4x the performance in facial recognition with significantly reduced power consumption. Powered by deep learning and neural network algorithms, CyberLink's FaceMe® is one of the most precise and flexible, facial recognition engines available on today's market.

In a recent Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) conducted by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), CyberLink's FaceMe® engine ranked 12th among all test participants in FRVT 1:1 (WILD 1E-4), reinforcing its position as a leader in facial recognition technology. The NIST FRVT WILD 1E-4 dataset consists of a wide variety of extracted facial data from surveillance footage and photos across a range of real-world situations, including different angles, poor lighting or partially covered faces, mimicking a multitude of different environments and settings where systems are required to precisely identify individuals.
