Image sensing component: OMRON Corporation has developed its Human Vision Component (HVC).
As you can observe, to date, sensing functions like face detection, human
body detection, gender estimation, age estimation, gaze estimation, facial pose
estimation, face recognition, estimation of facial expressions (satisfied,
unsatisfied, five different expressions: happiness, surprise, anger, sadness,
and neutral), hand detection, blink
estimation and more are invading our life, handsets, mobiles etc. the final goal in these approaches is to improve our daily life.

In this dynamic, today, OMRON Corporation has announced the development of its
Human Vision Component (HVC).
Connectikpeople has observed that, a
new image sensing component that can be embedded in a variety of devices and
equipment, incorporates ten algorithms from OKAO Vision and a camera module
into a compact configuration.
Regarding the OKAO Vision, Connectikpeople may recall that, it is OMRON’s
image sensing technology capable of recognizing the intentions and conditions
of people through face recognition, estimation of facial expressions, age
estimation, gaze estimation, hand detection, and other functions.
Pending the launch of this standard-type HVC, scheduled for December 2013,
Connectikpeople has discovered that, OMRON plans to introduce a succession of
application-specific HVC products, which will incorporate optimized hardware
and optical systems to enable customized functions that meet the requirements
of each specific industry.
In the same momentum, by adding the new HVC line of components to
conventionally available software products, OMRON expects to meet the market
requirements for easy use of image information. ‘’This will further expand its image sensing
business targeting human faces and motions’’.
