Case Study Background - Xiaomi

3D structured light face recognition is becoming more common in smartphones.

Challenge

Xiaomi wanted to use AI to create a richer, safer, and more convenient mobile experience but lacked specialization in this area.

Solution

The Xiaotang 8 uses SenseTime’s 3D structured light face recognition technology, which uses a structured light scheme that is different from iPhone X to create a face model with facial depth information for better unlocking speed and recognition accuracy and security. With this advantage, it can better support high-security demand scenarios such as mobile payment, comprehensively upgrade the user face recognition experience, and promote technological innovation in the mobile phone industry.

Technology

Precipitated by the original deep learning algorithm and massive data, Shangtang Technology took the lead in realizing the application of 3D structured light technology on Android mobile phones by drawing on the technical iterative experience of different industry scenes and the accumulated attack and defense tests. SenseTime Technology 3D structured light face recognition technology can create a millimeter-scale 3D facial model by projecting 33,000 coded lattices, and feature extraction based on infrared face image support.

Results

Leveraging the SenseID smartphone face unlock solution, Xiaomi provides customers with face unlock, face payment, and other functions.
