Ayonix , Incorporated
Company Introduction
Ayonix Inc. is a high technology provider of company-focused information technology and face
recognition solutions for the global marketplace.
It is headquartered in the center of Osaka city/Japan. It provides biometric face recognition SW/HW
products to security companies, system integrators and Major software/hardware manufacturers.
Ayonix Inc. develops its own face recognition Software Development Kits by the integration of its
fast algorithms and high reliability. Ayonix's SDKs can be used for human-free access control
systems, surveillance systems, computer security, banking, entertainment, law enforcement
applications, Hotel VIP service and customer managements etc.
Ayonix’s facial identification algorithms are all Ayonix’s patented algorithms. The algorithms
developed are based on the state-of-art techniques which have been also recognized by Osaka City
technology innovation contest (March, 2007).
With its high technology and market, its targets are not only Japan, but it targets a global
marketplace, too.

Industrial Applications and Projects
Ayonix Inc. envolves many applications and projects. Some of them are listed below:

Automatic Reception Desk
Automatic Reception Desk is a product that welcomes the customer at company entrance and
sends this information to the responsible person in the company.
Currently, some companies assign gate-security guideman to communicate with the people at the
gate and some companies put one intercom or telephone or a bell. Once the customer comes, he
should touch on intercom or bell or dial up the internal number of the person he wants to talk.
Whereas, Automatic Reception Desk recognizes the incoming people in early stages and informs the
company person about him. Customer does not have to wait at the gate.
Furthermore, the system say a message like “Good Morning Mr. Tanaka” or “Mr.Tanaka, we have
been waiting for you. Mr. Nakata will be shortly here”
This system comes with software+camera or hardware+camera. It has speech engines in
English, Turkish, Japanese.
System makes VIP services better and keep the Customer satisfaction high. The product is planned
to be released at the end of 2007 and now it is under testing.

Access Control
Access Control checks the entrances and exits of a door. One person at once is recognized. It is
applicable for controlling the entrances of companies, R&D divisions, factories, Hotels, Airports.
Our first target is Hotel check-in and Apartments.

Micproprocessor application
We are developing a super-parallel micro processor with Renesas Technology. Renesas
technology is a Japan leading Semiconductor Company established by Mitsubishi Electric and
Hitachi. Using microprocessor, we target to obtain a speed that is 1,000 times faster than the speed of
the fastest face recognition software in the world.
The target application is the embedded industry (Mobile phones, Video cameras and Digital
Televisions)

Facial mosaic for Department Stores
Face Recognition is not only for security. It has many applications. One of projects we work is
for protecting people privacy. We are undergoing an application, where we put mosaic to some
faces. Our application analyzes the faces in real time inside the Department stores. If it finds a
previously registered face, it puts a mosaic into the face and it is not recorded into DVRs.
Ayonix Techniques
Face Detection Techniques:
1. Skin Analysis
2. Haar-Gabor filtering techniques
3. Local Face Feature Analysis
Face Recognition Techniques:
1. Gabor filtering
2. Dynamic PCA techniques
3. Nonlinear Discriminant Feature Classification(NDFC)
4. A mixture of SVM and Neural Networks
Work Items
We plan to assign the following works to students:
1. Algorithm Testing and improvements
We have 10 different face recognition algorithms and 8 different face detection algorithms. We
need those components’ testings and improvements of their performances. In addition to that, we
need to know the best combinations of Face detection and Recognition algorithms to achieve a
high speed and/or best performance. Therefore, some evaluations and testing on them will be
needed.
Those algorithms are fully documented and essential information is provided prior to work.
2. Application Development
We have three implementations: Software, Hardware, Microprocessors
Software: PC-Based applications
Hardware: PowerPC or commercially available board-based application
Microprocessors: SoC1-based application
For Students who are interested in either of them, one theme is assigned. The final work is
commercialized.
The work that is assigned to the students can be embedded into our existing products or it
becomes a final product. In either case, company has all rights of the products.
Product know-how and any knowledge along with product specifications and detail sheets are
provided by our corporation.
