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.

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.
