Silicon Image Demonstrates Tessera FotoNation Technology at GSMA Mobile World Congress

Tessera Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:TSRA) and Silicon Image, Inc. (Nasdaq:SIMG) announced today that Silicon Image will demonstrate Tessera’s FotoNation® FaceTracker solution in Silicon Image’s camerIC-18 megapixel (MP) image signal processor (ISP) at the 2010 GSMA Mobile World Congress, Barcelona (Feb. 15-18). The camerIC-18 ISP IP core integrates the Lightweight Hardware Face Detector (LHFD) version of the FotoNation FaceTracker solution, which provides fast, high-performance face detection and tracking capabilities for camera-enabled devices. The camerIC-18 ISP will be on display at Silicon Image’s booth located in Hall 2, #2B 109.

Tessera’s FotoNation FaceTracker solution enables camera devices to select settings automatically to help capture the perfect picture. The technology uses innovative face-oriented technology to detect up to 10 faces in the camera viewfinder in as little as 0.1 seconds. It enables a camera to automatically adjust focus, color and exposure settings, helping to optimize portraits even when subjects are backlit, off-center or over / under exposed. The LHFD version of the FotoNation FaceTracker solution is a mixed hardware / software implementation that increases performance while using fewer computing resources.

"Tessera’s FotoNation FaceTracker solution adds valuable new end user capability to our market-leading camerIC ISP family of IP cores,” said Eric Almgren, vice president of Business Development and Intellectual Property Licensing, Silicon Image. "In addition, our camerIC-18 IP cores provide our customers with key features such as bad pixel detection and correction, de-noising and wide dynamic range processing that enhance the ISP capabilities.”

"We are very happy to be working with Silicon Image and to help showcase the high-performance advanced image process capabilities for their latest camerIC IP cores,” said Mike Bereziuk, executive vice president, Imaging & Optics, Tessera. "Our embedded imaging technologies continue to transform the way manufacturers deploy camera modules and to add features to mobile phones that enhance the user experience and results.”

About camerIC IP cores

Silicon Image’s camerIC-18 camera processor IP core is a complete 18 MP video and still picture ISP designed for SoCs providing image capture capability in mobile phones, personal media players and netbooks with integrated cameras. The high-performance camera pipeline features image processing, scaling and compression functions. By integrating the single camerIC-18 MP camera processor, the SoC processor can support resolutions ranging from 5, 8, 12 and 18 megapixel (MP) in a single low-cost / low-power design.
