LAS VEGAS, Oct. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Remark Holdings,
Inc. (NASDAQ: MARK), a global digital media technology
company, announced that Sina Weibo, one of the world's largest
social media companies, is launching its first
augmented-reality-enabled mobile application, named SuiShouPai
(which means "take a picture anywhere, anytime"). Remark
Holdings' KanKan subsidiary implemented SuiShouPai's core
augmented-reality feature using KanKan's 3D facial-feature-tracking
technology.
By choosing KanKan's AI technology, Sina Weibo is using one of
the world's most advanced 3D facial-feature-tracking technologies,
which makes the best mobile 3D augmented reality possible.
KanKan's software, which was developed over the last several
years using millions of globally-sourced facial feature samples,
can precisely recognize and track the movements of hundreds of
different facial features. The additional samples made available
through SuiShouPai will enable KanKan's facial-recognition
technologies to better understand various facial expressions by
improving the underlying AI's ability to learn human emotions based
on changes in facial features.
"We not only created a facial tracking system that we believe is
far superior to existing technologies, but we also created 3D
filters that can be used socially among friends or used to identify
business opportunities in various industries, such as in the
cosmetics field," said Kai-Shing
Tao, Remark Holdings' Chairman and CEO.
"Our contract with Sina Weibo continues to demonstrate that we
are able to monetize our artificial-intelligence technology,
including facial and object recognition," said Tao. An
example of how the technology functions can be found here.
Remark Holdings uses "deep learning", a type of
algorithm-based machine learning that is used to model high-level
abstractions in data, to train its artificial intelligence
products. Utilizing KanKan's extensive data sets to train its
KanKan Artificial Intelligence Platform with tens of millions of
supervised and unsupervised samples allows Remark
Holdings to develop models that extract facial features and
recognize objects, such as branded logos, animals or license
plates, with a high degree of precision.
The KanKan Artificial Intelligence Platform is designed as a
one-stop shop that will provide small to large enterprises and
developers with the ability to customize and train their own
artificial-intelligence models for their businesses, with stable
and ready-to-use artificial-intelligence modeling stacks and
pre-trained models.
