Dr. Spincer Koh of Gorilla Technology Group recently discussed the technology and partnership between Gorilla and AAEON:

“We at Gorilla Technology Group are very excited to partner with AAEON at this year’s COMPUTEX in order to showcase the latest in facial recognition technology and behavior analytics. Both Gorilla and AAEON are looking to expand the applications of the cutting-edge UP Squared AI Vision Development Kit and to advance the work of AI developers into more real-life solutions. Gorilla has been at the forefront of video IoT with our real-time edge AI solution, IVAR (Intelligent Video Analytics Recorder). IVAR has already delivered on a number of successful real-world scenarios: verifying VIP guests for hospitality and retail, creating watch lists for criminal investigations, and also permitting access to high-security locations.

“In our demonstration together, Gorilla pairs our IVAR facial recognition technology with AAEON’s leading hardware systems to register staff and apply deep learning analytics to recognize each person as they arrive—by name, title, age, gender and even clothing color. We hope that this collaboration between Gorilla and AAEON is just the beginning in a long line of successful endeavors together. “

The AIOT-AIVD AI Gateway is a compact edge AI system combining the flexible and innovative UP Squared board with the powerful Intel Movidius Myriad X. The UP Squared board pairs support for Intel processors, such as the Intel Pentium N4200 (formerly Apollo Lake), with up to 8 GB of LPDDR4 memory and eMMC storage up to 128 GB. The Intel Movidius Myriad X is a low-power high-performance neural accelerator and VPU capable of speeds up to 105 fps (80 typical). With the UP Squared and Intel Myriad X together, the AIOT-AIVD AI Gateway is one of the fastest and highest performing compact embedded edge AI systems available.
