OMRON Corp. of Kyoto City will introduce to the world on Aug. 26, 2016, the HVC-P2 B5T-007001 Series, a built-in human condition recognition unit dubbed a “Human Vision Components” (HVC) system, with a maximum recognition speed 10 times greater than that of previous models.
The HVC is an image-sensing unit incorporating’s proprietary “OKAO® Vision” technology for recognizing human face expression, gender, age, gaze and blink into a camera module. The HVC-P2 boasts a maximum recognition speed 10 times that of a previous model introduced in March 2014, making it possible to detect a human body four times per second (*), keeping track of a person within a detection area without fail.
(*) Data based on a camera head placed within a 7.4-meter distance from a human body
Customers can also choose from two camera heads, a long-distance detection type and a wide-angle detection type, depending on their specific application purposes. A piece of equipment embedded with the HVC-P2 can detect and presume attributes and conditions of a user coming in its vicinity, without the user knowing the presence of a camera, making it possible to provide services deemed most suitable in view of the user’s attributes.
Furthermore, the HVC-P2 can be embedded in a variety of equipment and machines to do various jobs involving humans and machines, including safeguarding people in manufacturing workplaces, keeping track of congestion in elevators, and watching out for people under care at nursing homes.
By embedding the company’s proprietary image-sensing technology capable of recognizing human conditions, now available in the form of the HVC-P2, in every piece of equipment and machinery, contributes to the realization of an IoT society where things work for people.
