Case Study: Omron Electronics Pty Ltd achieves GPU‑accelerated real‑time OKAO face‑sensing iOS demo with Softeq

Showcasing Okao Vision Face Sensing Technology With Real-Time Image Processing

Omron Corporation needed a mobile demo to showcase its proprietary OKAO Vision Face Sensing Technology to prospects but lacked the in‑house resources to build one. Omron engaged Softeq to deliver an iOS proof‑of‑concept app using the OKAO SDK that would replicate the Android demo’s features and demonstrate the technology on Apple devices.

Softeq analyzed the Android app, mapped its functionality to iOS, and implemented face detection, facial feature extraction, face recognition, attribute analysis (age, gender, ethnicity), and automatic image enhancement. To achieve real‑time matching on low‑power devices, Softeq offloaded image processing to the GPU via shaders, producing faster processing and an app that functionally outperformed the Android version; Omron praised Softeq’s speed, quality, and the improved ability to demo OKAO Vision capabilities.
