This innovative solution enables developers of smart locks and other access control systems to quickly and efficiently add secure, machine learning-based facial recognition capabilities to smart homes and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications using NXP's eIQ® machine learning software. The processors incorporate NXP's advanced implementation of the Arm® Cortex®-M7 CPU core with 2 MB of on-chip SRAM, operating at up to 1 GHz to deliver enhanced performance, faster and more accurate facial recognition, greater energy efficiency, and an overall improved user experience.
Along with its dual-core processing and security features, the i.MX RT117F processor also provides a 2D graphics processing unit (GPU), two Gigabit Ethernet ports (and one 10/100 port), two high-speed USB OTG connectors with PHY, and support for a MIPI camera and display. The combined solution of the i.MX RT117F hybrid processor with a high-performance 3D structured light module (SLM) camera enables edge-level 3D facial recognition performance and security, addressing privacy concerns and eliminating the latency typically associated with cloud-based alternatives.
