Macnica (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President: Kiyoshi Nakashima, hereinafter referred to as Macnica), which imports, sells, and develops semiconductors and network equipment, is a subsidiary ALTIMA Company, which is involved in the development of high-speed image processing solutions.Ex Co., Ltd. We have concluded an agency agreement with Vision (head office location: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, President: Teruho Fujii, hereinafter referred to as Exvision). In conjunction with this, the company announced that it will start selling the High Speed Vision Software Development Kit (HSV SDK), which is an execution environment for the high-speed image processing solution developed by the company, from January 2018. Masu.

Conventional systems were sometimes unable to capture fast-moving objects and phenomena. The HSV SDK, which will be on sale this time, makes it possible to capture them by high-speed imaging at 1,000 frames per second. do it fast. The processing results can be output in units of one frame, enabling faster feedback to the system than before.
In production lines such as factories, delays in detecting anomalies and failures can lead to fatal consequences. can be captured in real time, and a stop instruction can be issued to the system quickly.
In addition, conventional industrial robots generally moved to coordinates specified by the program, but by utilizing the high speed and tracking functions of the HSV SDK, real-time feedback to the robot is possible. As a result, the robot can take autonomous actions and responses according to the movement and state of the target object. This contributes to improving the efficiency of robot teaching work and improving productivity.
In addition, the high-speed feedback of image information makes it possible to capture stable images by canceling out camera vibrations. It is also possible to realize stable state observation at
In conventional systems, it was necessary to perform image processing on a personal computer in order to detect and track an object, but by introducing the HSV SDK, the size of the latter system can be reduced and the power consumption of the entire system can be reduced. As well as becoming possible, the possibility of building a new system that is not bound by physical restrictions will expand.

HSV SDK is a standard platform for developing high-speed vision applications. It consists of an evaluation board equipped with a 1,000 frames per second high-speed vision sensor and SoC FPGA, and a software package for development, enabling rapid development of a camera unit application that emphasizes real-time performance and a host application that emphasizes versatility. provide the environment. Camera Unit consists of a high-speed vision sensor and SoC FPGA, and is hardware that runs a real-time OS. By connecting the Camera Unit to the host system, it is possible to develop a host application that captures image data and sensing information, checks and analyzes phenomena, and so on. The HSV SDK was developed as a result of commissioned work from the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), a national research and development agency.

This agency agreement was concluded between Exvision, which aims to popularize innovative solutions in the field of high-speed image processing, and Macnica ALTIMA Company, a technology trading company, as their aims to develop the high-speed vision-related market coincided. That's what I came up with. We will leverage Macnica ALTIMA Company 's wide customer base and technical capabilities to provide this solution to many customers.
