FaceCell EDK Software

FaceCell EDK
FaceCell Embedded Development Kit is based on the FaceCell embedded facial recognition algorithm that is designed to be used in handheld devices with embedded cameras, such as PDAs or smart phones. FaceCell EDK includes libraries for Linux and Microsoft Windows Mobile on the ARM platform.

It is possible to use FaceCell technology on other platforms and with other operating systems by obtaining the FaceCell source code EDK. The FaceCell algorithm source code is written in ANSI C, thus it is easily portable.

These types of FaceCell EDK are available:

FaceCell Library EDK
FaceCell Library EDK is intended for development projects using hardware based on ARM processors.

FaceCell Library EDK includes these components:

MS Windows Mobile components
FaceCell library (for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 with SP1).
FaceCell programming sample in Visual C++ 2005 SP1.
FaceCell tutorials in C.

ARM Linux components
FaceCell library (for ARM-Linux GCC C compiler).
FaceCell tutorials in C.
Documentation.

System requirements for FaceCell Library EDK
ARM-based 400 MHz processor is recommended for face enrollment in less than two seconds. Supported ARM processor core families are: XScale, StrongArm, ARM11, ARM10, ARM9.
At least 8 Mb of memory for FaceCell code and data arrays.
Embedded camera with at least 320 x 240 pixels physical resolution (640 x 480 pixels recommended).
ARM Linux (glibc 2.3.4 or later) or Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 (or later) operating system

FaceCell EDK trial
Fingerprint-IT also offers FaceCell EDK on a 30 day trial. The downloadable trial kit allows developers to explore the EDK's possibilities and to try it in real environments and real applications. FaceCell EDK includes a fully functional programming sample for iPaq HW6915 and similar properties can be implemented for use on other devices.

Note: FaceCell EDK trial requires constant Internet connection during evaluation.

The FaceCell algorithm demo application for Microsoft Windows CE is also available for downloading.

FaceCell source code EDK
FaceCell source code EDK is intended for developers who are going to integrate facial recognition technology into a custom device.

FaceCell source code EDK contains these components:
FaceCell source code
