On April 11, 2024, Da Lian Da Holdings, an international leading semiconductor component distributor dedicated to the Asia Pacific market, announced that its subsidiary Pinka has launched an AI portrait background removal solution based on MediaTek Genio 700 platform.

In the fast-paced workplace ecosystem, video conferencing has become an indispensable communication and collaboration tool in daily work. However, although video conferencing greatly promotes the convenience of work, sometimes participants may not be able to enter the conference environment in a timely manner, resulting in disorganized video images and causing a certain negative impact on professional image. To address this issue, Da Lian Da Pin Jia has launched an AI portrait background removal solution based on MediaTek's Genio 700 platform. This solution can recognize people with just one click and remove cluttered backgrounds, avoiding privacy exposure while making the work environment more rigorous and meeting communication more professional.

MediaTek's Genio 700 is a high-performance edge artificial intelligence IoT platform with excellent edge processing responsiveness, excellent multimedia functionality, and a seamless multitasking operating system. In addition, the Genio 700 platform can support multiple network connection methods and operating systems, including Yocto Linux, Ubuntu, and Android systems, to meet various user development needs.

This solution utilizes the powerful artificial intelligence computing unit (APU) of Genio 700, utilizing big data of the human body and skeleton, advanced algorithms and recognition model technology, to achieve rapid and accurate definition of human form. The basic operating principle of this scheme includes capturing images, detecting the human body, extracting human form, establishing an accurate anthropomorphic database, and comparing the quantified data with the anthropomorphic feature values in the database. After identifying the correct human body position, the cluttered background outside the human body is removed, presenting an ideal visual effect.

In video conferencing, this solution can timely remove the background of the portrait, allowing conference participants to focus more on the meeting content and improve work efficiency. Similarly, in video calls, this solution can better protect the privacy of users, avoid accidental exposure of personal or private space backgrounds during calls, and improve the security of videos.
