The FotoNation^® FaceTools technology is part of the Tessera family of image enhancement solutions for camera-enabled devices.

FaceTools technology includes the FotoNation FaceTracker solution which provides fast, high-performance face detection and tracking capabilities that enable the camera to select optimal settings automatically for the perfect picture.

Using innovative face-oriented technology, the FotoNation FaceTracker solution detects up to 10 faces in the camera viewfinder in as little as 0.1 seconds. It enables a camera to automatically adjust focus, color and exposure settings, optimizing portraits even when subjects are backlit, off-center or over/under exposed.

It is available in both software and hardware formats, and can be customized for specific applications with a variety of extension modules:

The FotoNation SmileCheck extension module enables a camera viewfinder to indicate when faces are smiling and can ensure the camera shutter is triggered only when one or more faces are smiling.
The FotoNation BlinkCheck extension module can be used to warn the photographer when the subjects’ eyes are closed.
The FotoNation Beautification extension module allows camera-enabled products to enhance portraits without requiring separate, post-editing software. The technology automatically reduces the appearance of wrinkles or other skin imperfections while the sharpness of eyes, hair and lips is retained.

This video explores the applications and best practices for evaluating face tracking solutions to empower you to consistently deliver pleasing accurate results.
