According to XDA, Huawei has launched a new generation of artificial intelligence engine HiAI, Huawei P20 series will be first compatible. On the launch of the Kirin 970 SoC last year, Huawei demonstrated the artificial intelligence of the chip. The built-in neural processing unit (NPU) can recognize text and images and scene content more quickly. The new HiAI engine can extend application functions and integrate. A variety of AI features make the application smarter and more powerful. Developers can now download the DDK (Driver Development Kit), the SDK and the IDE HiAI engine. One of the highlights of the HiAI engine's application features is the Computer Vision (CV) engine. Computer vision engine refers to "the ability of a computer to simulate a human visual system to sense the surrounding environment, to determine, recognize, and understand spatial composition." Features of the CV engine include image super resolution, face recognition and object recognition. The HiAI engine also includes an automatic speech recognition (ASR) engine. The engine is only open to China. The ASR engine is a function that converts human voice into text. Its functions include speech recognition, voice conversion and text-to-speech (TTS). The Natural Language Understanding (NLU) engine is also part of the HiAI engine functionality, but like the ASR engine, it is only open to China. It enables computers to understand human voices, which enables them to communicate or act naturally. Its functions include word segmentation, textual entity recognition, emotional orientation analysis and machine translation. The functions of the HiAI engine are as follows: Scene Detection: It "quickly sorts" an image by identifying scenes in the image content. Huawei said that it currently supports the identification of multiple scenarios with high accuracy. File Correction and File Detection: This is an auxiliary enhancement that corrects the file angle. It also automatically identifies the location of the document in the image. Face Detection and Face Comparison: According to Huawei, in face detection, information on face position, feature points and posture in a given image is detected, and high-precision face rectangular coordinates are returned. Image classification label: Based on the deep learning method, it identifies information such as objects, scenes and behaviors in the image. Image super resolution: Huawei claims to be able to intelligently magnify images based on deep learning. It also provides sharper, sharper images while maintaining the same resolution. Feature Image Super Resolution: The image containing the feature can be magnified 9 times. It can also "enhance" the characters on the image. Code detection: According to Huawei, code detection obtains the information contained in the code by reading the quick response (QR) code and barcode, and then provides related services. Code detection is integrated into the application. Hanzhong Hengpu Photoelectric Technology Co.,Ltd , https://www.hplenses.com
