Samsung Licenses DigitalOptics Face Detection and Tracking Software

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DigitalOptics Corporation (DOCᅵ), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Tessera Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSRA)
announced today that Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has signed a
multi-year license for DOC's Face Detection and Face Tracking
software. This software will be used in Samsung Galaxy Sᅵ 4
smartphones.

DOC's Face Detection and Face Tracking software is part of DOC's
FaceToolsᅵ suite, which also includes Accurate Eye Tracking and Face
Recognition, Smile and Blink Detection, among others. With FaceTools,
end users can automatically identify individuals, capture fast moving
objects, use enhanced user interfaces via real-time tracking of
pupils, and take flawless pictures even under sub-optimum light or
color balance conditions. This software is compatible with all
application processors and can be optimized for power consumption and
increased performance via custom hardware blocks, such as the DOC
advanced hardware image processing (AHIP) embedded in Fujitsu's
discrete image signal processors (ISPs).

The DOC's FaceTools suite is also a key capability in its innovative
microelectromechnical (MEMS) mems|camᅵ mobile camera module recently
launched in February at Mobile World Congress. By combining FaceTools
along with an extensive portfolio of market leading camera
technologies, DOC will enable compelling new imaging features only
available in mems|cam mobile camera modules for smartphone cameras.

"Our position as the technology and market leader in imaging
software is a unique asset that enables DOC to develop highly
differentiated mobile camera modules," said John Thode, president
of DOC. "By combining our MEMS technology with our real-time
custom hardware blocks and application software we believe we have all
of the capabilities to bring exceptional professional quality still
and video imaging and applications to mobile devices."
