Tessera Technologies has announced its new FotoNation(R) BlinkCheck technology, which improves image-taking capabilities of digital still cameras (DSCs), cell phones and other camera-enabled devices by ensuring all human subjects in a photo have their eyes open. FotoNation BlinkCheck technology is the latest addition to the comprehensive FotoNation FaceTracker solution. The FotoNation FaceTracker solution identifies and tracks, in real time, more than 10 faces in one image in as little as 0.1 seconds. It provides in-camera face detection and tracking for digital still and cell phone cameras, and other camera-enabled devices. The solution also includes FotoNation SmileCheck technology, which detects smiles and enables the smile shutter mode, in which photographs are automatically captured only when all the detected faces in the picture are smiling.FotoNation BlinkCheck image enhancement technology enables a camera to capture photos of subjects only when their eyes are open. Alternatively, the technology warns a user immediately after capturing an image if it contains one or more faces with closed eyes, providing the user the opportunity to take another photo.

The FotoNation FaceTracker solution, including optional FotoNation BlinkCheck technology, is available for licensing now from Tessera.
