Thanks to the camera.

For image processing professionals, I would like to introduce two examples of cameras that have a close relationship with our work. The first example is to ensure that the presence of the camera is not noticeable during shooting. The camera is a combination of an infrared camera with a sensitivity peak in the infrared range and a light source that cuts visible light wavelengths. The on/off control of the light source is managed by the software performing the image processing, but during debugging, it is not visible to the human eye whether the light source is being controlled. By limiting the wavelength in this way, it becomes a showcase for the image processing department in terms of "noise reduction" and focus adjustment methods (such as autofocus). The second example is the development of image processing in high-temperature environments. Fortunately, there are cameras specifically designed for high-temperature environments, used in applications like welding and furnaces. The operating ambient temperature can reach 1300°C for in-furnace models (insertion type) and a maximum of 150°C for external installation types. For us in image processing, as long as the video signal output is the same, the differences in cameras are not directly relevant, but having such cameras allows us to meet customer demands. We are very grateful for this. *News is distributed through our company newsletter.
