Face recognition is an unlocking method after fingerprint recognition. With the increasing proportion of mobile phone screens, face recognition has become the mainstream trend of the mobile phone market. In this regard, Vivo has also made a new exploration. Digital blogger @ Feng Weiwen revealed that since many Android mobile phone manufacturers in 2018 have introduced a face recognition system equipped with 3D structured light, vivo will also work hard in this area. We will vigorously develop the TOF depth camera technology and will this year Published on MWC.
It is reported that the TOF depth camera technology can realize more functions, including the depth recognition face function, which can provide more support for functions such as screen unlocking and secure payment. Moreover, the advantages of the TOF depth camera technology are also obvious: Smaller The overall module can make the 'Liu Haier' of the mobile phone screen as small as possible; in addition, the distance of the face recognition is further away, which can enrich the daily use scene; and the TOF depth camera technology is more difficult to achieve mass production, I believe Can accelerate the popularization of this function even more.
And according to @Feng Weiwen's speculation, the TOF depth camera technology will be applied to vivo's mass production models in the second half of this year. Visible that vivo is also very confident in this technology. We know that after a new technology emerges, it is often only Only a few devices or high-end devices are equipped, similar to the iPhone 5S fingerprint unlocking function. However, over time, with the industry's upgrade, these configurations are more and more decentralized into more entry devices, such as the current Almost all entry models have fingerprint unlocking.
The TOF depth camera technology that is more friendly to mass production also allows us to see the dawn of the popularity of 3D face recognition. We believe that with the continuous advancement of technology, more and more mobile phones will enjoy 3D face recognition to unlock and pay. convenient.
