[Image Processing Engineer Column] Is the Optimal Solution Advanced Technology?
アポロ精工 アポロ精工 新横浜オフィス（旧ケーアイテクノロジー/旧市川ソフトラボラトリー）
We develop cutting-edge technology at the request of our customers. However, if we can achieve our goals using combinations of established techniques, there are many advantages to that approach. Since these techniques are referred to as established, they have been widely used for a long time. Many of them are included in university textbooks, and if we consider "a long time ago" to be over 25 years, there are no patent restrictions. Additionally, while there are various calculation methods that can yield the same results, the techniques known as established have survived the competition with many other methods, often resulting in a streamlined process. Is it just combinations of established techniques? If it's merely a combination of publicly known technologies, it would be easily imitated, right? Unless we specifically advertise what combinations of processes we use, imitation is not so simple. I mentioned that an ideal situation would be a combination of established processes, but even if 80% or 90% can be handled with established techniques, when we hit the remaining 10% barrier, we need to develop unknown approaches. It is precisely this last 10% that leads to inquiries to our company, and we participate in exhibitions to convey this "new technology," so I may not be the most suitable person to discuss this topic. *News is distributed through our company newsletter.
