A sensor sensitive to SWIR light in the short-wavelength infrared region with a wavelength of 1000 to 2000 nm has been developed, and its use in fields such as factory automation for sorting and inspection, which are difficult to distinguish visually, is becoming more active. Our company aims to establish a monitoring system that is resilient to visibility deterioration caused by fog, rain, and other factors by utilizing this SWIR camera for disaster monitoring. In the rainfall estimation technology from CCTV footage, the wavelength is approximately twice that of visible light, which suppresses the scattering of light that causes visibility deterioration, making it less affected by fog, haze, and rain.

Our company is participating in a Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications project aimed at enhancing radio wave utilization efficiency, collaborating with Nippon Dengei Kogyo Co., Ltd., Ryosei Co., Ltd., and Sharp Corporation to develop technology. To control the propagation path of radio waves, it is necessary to accurately grasp the three-dimensional positions of radio transmission and reception devices. Therefore, we identify devices that can serve as radio wave sources through image processing and create a real-time database of their three-dimensional positions. From the post-measurement results obtained using radio direction sensors, it becomes possible to identify and track the communication target devices. 【Project Overview】 ■ Project Objective: Enhance radio wave utilization efficiency ■ Identification of Radio Wave Source Locations - Identify devices that can serve as radio wave sources through image processing and create a real-time database of their three-dimensional positions. - It is possible to identify and track communication target devices from the post-measurement results obtained using radio direction sensors. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
