NXP Semiconductors i.MX RT117F Crossover Processor

NXP Semiconductors i.MX RT117F Crossover Processor is intended for developers to quickly and easily add 3D face recognition with advanced liveness detection to designs. The 3D face recognition is robust, working in challenging outdoor lighting conditions and resisting sophisticated spoofing attacks. This 3D face recognition allows a liveness detection feature that overcomes spoofing attempts using photographs or 3D models by implementing a high-performance 3D structured light module (SLM) camera, an optional, low-cost, CMOS sensor-based RGB camera.

The NXP i.MX RT117F Crossover Processor is part of the i.MX RT1170 family of crossover MCUs, designed for low-cost, embedded, secure face recognition applications. The RT117F Processor features an Arm® Cortex®-M7 core, which operates at speeds up to 1GHz to provide high performance and real-time response. Additionally, the RT117F offers plenty of available CPU and memory resources and includes many integrated peripherals.

The i.MX RT117F Crossover Processor is ideal to be the main controller in many different product categories, running the access control device’s application code concurrently with face recognition.
