Although we are primarily engaged in development, we will be holding an "Image Processing Seminar" for the first time in a year. The organizer will be the Japan Tech Center. The date has been set for October 10th (Friday). In recent years, online seminars have been increasing, but we are committed to delivering the latest information from our actual development work and addressing the "current issues" faced by participants through a Q&A session, which is why we prefer an in-person seminar format. The instructors will consist of two members: the founder of K.I. Technology Co., Ltd. and one of our engineers responsible for the SoCFPGA division. If this article piques your interest and you wish to inquire about participation with the organizer, please take advantage of the "Instructor Introduction Discount." You should be able to search for it by entering "Image Processing" in the "Keyword" section of the Japan Tech Center's seminar page. The seminar will focus on themes from software development to hardware development. As the number of players capable of developing hardware for acceleration is decreasing across the industry, please feel free to ask questions during this seminar.

We will be holding the "Image Processing Seminar" hosted by the Japan Techno Center again this year. The event will take place on Thursday, September 12th. The lecture content can be found by entering the keyword "image processing" in the Japan Techno Center's "seminar" section. A notable feature of our instructors is that they update the "lecture materials" each time to reflect the latest hot information from the development field. Currently, we are revising the materials, but instead of cutting down on content due to excessive information, we are designating some parts as "lecture omissions" so that participants can take them home. Every time, on the morning of the event, we gather information on the participants' "main business" and "expected content for today's lecture" in terms of hardware, software, and algorithms, and we adjust the time allocation flexibly based on this feedback. The most exciting part is the "questions" from the participants. The topics we are currently adding (which have changed over the past year) include FPGA-integrated SoCs and why hardware implementation leads to faster performance. The former is evolving daily, while the latter is a topic that participants raise during the "question" time. We are also including "GPU processing," which is positioned between hardware and software, as it significantly contributes to actual business operations.

We will be exhibiting at the "International Image Equipment Exhibition 2022" held at Pacifico Yokohama from December 7 (Wednesday) to December 9 (Friday). Our booth number is No. 9. Our policy of "Making core image processing technology easy to understand" remains unchanged, and we will prepare a demonstration using moving toys as shooting targets in a square booth. There will be three demonstration exhibits: 1) AI Utilization Optical Flow Detection A real-time demo of camera footage. The AI recognizes what is captured by the camera and uses optical flow to analyze the movement of the recognized objects. 2) Simultaneous QR Code Reading This new technology can quickly read codes that are deformed into convex or concave shapes. 3) Image Stitching In response to the question, "What is this used for?", we will composite N-gauge train models into a long horizontal video, recreating a scene of "a person inspecting a door." If you wish to attend, please note that pre-registration is required. Please register via the official website of the International Image Equipment Exhibition 2022. https://www.adcom-media.co.jp/ite/ We look forward to seeing you at the venue. *News is distributed through our company newsletter.

From September 28 to 29, 2022, at the Tokyo Dome City Prism Hall, we will hold the "Techno Horizon Group Solution Fair 2022 in Tokyo." On September 28, there will be a special lecture by economic analyst Takuro Morinaga. Pre-registration is required, so if you are interested, please register early. Details can be confirmed on our website. This fair requires pre-registration (free of charge). You can pre-register from this URL: https://www.technohorizon.co.jp/thg_fair/2022_tokyo/?from= When applying, you will need to fill in the invitee from our group. Right below "3. Information of the group representative," there is a mandatory field to search for the representative. Since there are no other individuals with the surname "Ishii" in our group, it will be automatically filled in easily. Additionally, our demo will be showcased as a multi-vision solution for "FA" applications. Please be sure to stop by when you visit. *News is distributed through our company newsletter.

We will hold our first LIVE seminar on the video streaming platform "AperzaTV," which specializes in the manufacturing industry. The seminar title is "Image Equipment LIVE 2022 Summer." The event will take place on June 22, 2022 (Wednesday), and viewing is free. On this day, four sessions will be streamed. Our company is scheduled for the last session from 13:00 to 13:30. The theme is "Learning from Case Studies! Common Challenges and Solutions in FA Image Processing." In the image processing seminar, although there is a script, I mostly speak off the cuff throughout the day. However, for this LIVE seminar, I will be speaking according to a predetermined flow, which makes me feel embarrassed as if I am a different person. While I feel shy about speaking, the content will be the genuine voice from the "development site," so please tune in if your schedule allows. Since it is live, it will be in a chat format, and I have heard that live questions will be possible. This is my first time as well, so there may be things I won't know until the actual event, but as long as it is related to "image processing," I believe I can answer questions regardless of the field. You can find it by searching for "Image Equipment LIVE 2022 Summer." *News is distributed through our company's newsletter.

It’s that time of year again. Our company will be exhibiting at the "Image Sensing Exhibition 2022" held at Pacifico Yokohama from June 8 (Wednesday) to June 10 (Friday), as we do every year. The event is described as an exhibition where imaging equipment and sensing technologies from both domestic and international sources come together. Our booth will be No. 6. Our policy of "making core imaging technology easy to understand" remains unchanged, and since we have a square booth for the first time in a while, we are preparing an interesting demo using moving toys as shooting targets. There will be three demonstration exhibits. For image stitching, we are creatively presenting the composite images to help visualize practical applications. For high-speed QR code reading, we have improved the demo to show the robustness of the target codes by making them three-dimensional with indentations and protrusions. The last one will be a surprise until the day of the event. It is still under development, so I can’t provide detailed explanations until it’s completed—that’s the honest truth. I look forward to seeing you at the venue. *News is distributed through our company newsletter.

From April 26 to 27, 2022, the "Techno Horizon Group Solution Fair 2022 in Nagoya" will be held at the Nagoya City Small and Medium Enterprise Promotion Hall (Suiyake Hall).

We will also have new technologies being unveiled for the first time. *News is distributed through our company newsletter.

This is a seminar aimed at broadly and shallowly (ideally deeply) acquiring the development process of image processing. - For those whose work involves image processing development: if your specialty is software, you may want to learn about hardware development. Conversely, if your specialty is hardware development, you may want to learn about method development. - For those who outsource image processing development but want to understand how the outsourcing partner conducts their development. - For those managing product development using image processing but want to know the key points of their subordinates' development activities. - For users of inspection devices that utilize image processing, who want to know not only about sales pitches from equipment manufacturers but also what key factors to focus on to achieve the desired takt time. 1) Introduction: In which industrial fields is "image processing" used, and how? 2) Practical training on standard processing using the image processing learning software IP Kit 3. 3) Practical training on thinking about detection methods for distinctive parts. 4) Means of implementing heavy processing (software, GPU, hardware = FPGA): How to choose the means of implementation? Differentiating between GPU processing and SoC FPGA. 5) FPGA implementation: From Verilog circuits to computational accuracy. 6) Case demonstrations. 7) Q&A session. This seminar is full of improvisation.

On March 25, 2021, we will hold a seminar titled "Fundamentals of Image Processing and Algorithms for SoCFPGA, Implementation on FPGA, and Key Points." In the first half of the seminar, we will learn about the latest information in applied industrial fields related to image processing, as well as fundamental processing techniques. We will provide a simple explanation of principles and effects for processes such as binarization, spatial filtering, labeling, feature extraction, offset, gain, shading, gamma correction, and pattern matching. To allow participants to experience the effects of these processes, we will use study and experimental software, enabling each participant to operate it on their own PC (the software can be taken home). In the second half, while learning about the separation of hardware and software, we will practice selecting implementation methods. Furthermore, we will clarify the requirements for the parts that we decide to hardware, and select an FPGA considering comparisons of device manufacturers and device scale (gate scale, number of IO pins). We will explain a practical example of high-speed processing achieved by hardware implementation of the "spatial filter" learned in the first half. Finally, we will conduct an image processing demonstration tailored to the participants' preferences. For those considering attending, there is also a "Instructor Introduction Discount System." Please contact us.

We will compare "software" and "hardware" as means of realization in the development of image processing algorithms. By understanding the merits and demerits of each, you will be able to choose the appropriate means of realization. In the "practical session," you will be asked to think of "algorithms" for the given tasks. Various answers will emerge, as there are many possible solutions for algorithms. We also update the latest information each time, so in recent years, we touch on topics such as SocFPGA and deep learning. The "Image Processing Seminar" in winter 2018 will be held on December 13 (Thursday). https://www.j-techno.co.jp/seminar/seminar-23125/ The collaboration considerations of software and hardware unique to a small group like ours have been well received by participants each time. Please feel free to ask about the struggles of daily debugging; your "questions" are very helpful to other participants as well. The time allocation for algorithm development, software development, and hardware development will focus more on the topics that the participants want to hear about on the day. For those considering participation, we also have a unique "Instructor Introduction Discount System," so please contact us.

From December 7 to 9, 2016, the International Image Equipment Exhibition 2016 will be held at Pacifico Yokohama as usual. Our booth number is 41, and we will once again conduct our traditional moving demonstrations, so it will be a square booth. As a development-focused company, our theme is "Making the added value of image processing easy to understand." Currently, we are organizing demonstrations in groups using key technologies we want to showcase, such as image stitching, Plarail, recognition, and pan-tilt heads. All engineers are involved in at least one group, and we evaluate the completed demonstrations internally before finalizing what we will exhibit. The core technologies introduced in the demonstrations will not be sold as they are. Instead, the demonstrations at the exhibition serve as examples of the various capabilities we have, tailored to meet each customer's specific requests. We develop new technologies for each exhibition, so each group competes to create eye-catching demonstrations. Please come and see what we have completed at Pacifico Yokohama.

The long-awaited Image Sensing Exhibition will be held from June 8 to 10 at Pacifico Yokohama. We will have an even more powerful demo of TransMove, which was featured in multiple media outlets last December (software compatible with freely deformable video). The Plarail-kun is also being controlled with a new software that uses a camera.

Our company specializes in the development of image processing, and we value communication with anyone involved in "image processing" in any capacity. Our team spends their days sitting at desks, immersed in coding and debugging. This team engages in conversations with various people at "exhibitions" and "image processing seminars." This year's "Image Processing Seminar" will be held on February 17th (Wednesday). http://www.j-techno.co.jp/seminar/ID54NYS47WT/ The collaboration considerations between software and hardware, unique to small groups like ours, have been well received by participants each time. Please feel free to ask about the challenges of daily debugging; such "questions" are appreciated and can be very helpful to other participants as well. The allocation of time for algorithm development, software development, and hardware development will focus more on the topics that attendees express a desire to hear about. For those considering attending, we also have a unique "Instructor Introduction Discount System," so please don't hesitate to reach out. I am already looking forward to the encounters we will have this time as well.

The International Image Equipment Exhibition, which has become a winter event for image processing equipment, will be held again this year. It will take place from December 2 (Wednesday) to December 4 (Friday) at Pacifico Yokohama. Our booth number is 63, located in the usual square area. Please head towards the back from the entrance; it is right in front of the seminar venue and the break area. Our company helps enhance the added value of our customers' products by providing image processing technology in the form of "parts," whether as hardware or software. This year, as examples of applications for image processing algorithms, we will demonstrate "image restoration," "video deformation," "video viewpoint transformation," and "image stitching" with a new presentation style that is easy to understand. We are also diligently creating new toys for this purpose. These technologies will be displayed as part of our offerings for contract development, so please feel free to stop by when you visit. We will also be demonstrating our new product, TransMovie, in a version for the exhibition.

While we mentioned that it would be held once a year, due to the number of people on the waiting list exceeding a few, it has been decided to hold an additional session at the request of the organizers. As of this announcement, we have already received applications from 15 participants. The content will broadly introduce the flow of "algorithm development, software development, and hardware development" related to image processing. Participants will approach solutions that have not been realized so far (algorithm development), learn conventional image processing methods, and practice on individual PCs to explore what can be achieved through their combinations. Among those conventional methods, we will discuss the merits and demerits of hardening one specific circuit. We will introduce trade-offs and present an example of hardening by converting a certain circuit into an FPGA. Japan Techno Center http://www.j-techno.co.jp/seminar/ID51FNVEH91/ Image Processing Algorithms, Hardware Implementation, and FPGA Selection When applying to the organizers, it has been agreed that a "Instructor Introduction Discount (10% off)" will be applied. We encourage you to consider this.

This year, K.I. Technology Co., Ltd. will also be exhibiting at the International Imaging Equipment Exhibition held at Pacifico Yokohama. With the motto "Making the effects of image processing easy to understand," we strive to create interesting displays every time. By using only items that anyone can easily purchase and adding the essence of image processing, we can achieve fascinating results. We will showcase exhibits unique to a development company. (This year, we are featuring N gauge, which is also adopted by actual railway companies.) Our booth number is 48, so please be sure to stop by when you visit.
