Captured the texture of artificial leather with TR-100, observing the color patterns and "shape" separately in a single shot.

Make it visible and judge it as is. An appearance inspection system that integrates imaging and judgment into one unit.

The TR-100 is an appearance inspection system that captures surfaces using its proprietary 3D imaging technology "FORESIGHT STEREO" and determines quality with the AI anomaly detection engine "E3 ENGINE." It is designed for processes where workpieces are placed for inspection. From a single image capture, it provides four outputs: a standard image (Live), brightness of the material without shadows (2D Texture), a shape that only restores the contours (3D Surface), and the orientation of the surface independent of lighting (Surface Normal). It is suitable for inspecting fine irregularities on glossy or low-contrast surfaces by eliminating the influence of color. The judgment is based solely on learning from good products, returning a three-value output of OK/Human_Check/NG. It can be selected according to scale, from a desktop setup to integration with PLCs, robots, and conveyors, up to the Premier model. It is certified as a Kanagawa Nadeshiko Brand 2024.

Not by estimation, but by measurement. We capture the surface in 3D from surface normals that are not affected by lighting.

FORESIGHT STEREO is a 3D imaging technology developed independently by our company. It captures images by illuminating from different directions in sequence, obtaining the physical quantity of surface orientation (surface normals) in a way that is unaffected by lighting, and reconstructing the 3D shape. Since it measures the orientation of surfaces rather than colors or patterns, it can capture shallow scratches, dents, and fine unevenness even on mirror-like or glossy surfaces by suppressing specular reflection. From a single imaging session, four outputs are obtained: normal images (Live), 2D Texture, 3D Surface, and Surface Normal, which can be used for visual inspection as well as input for the AI anomaly detection engine "E3 ENGINE." It is equipped in our TR series (TR-300/TR-100/TR-55).

We have introduced our commercial aroma diffuser, "Majesta Fragrance (MF-02S)," to a girls' bar in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Installed device: MF-02S (monthly fee: 8,800 yen) Installation location: Near the store entrance (entrance floor) Selected fragrance: Savon By using Majesta Fragrance to create a fragrant atmosphere in the store, we not only address the odors of tobacco and alcohol that can be concerning in nightlife spots and restaurants but also envelop customers in a pleasant scent the moment they enter, creating a memorable space that makes them want to return. The fragrance approach, which appeals not only to the visual senses but also to the sense of smell, is highly effective for differentiating from other stores and improving repeat customer rates. 【Free trial installation currently available】 For owners and managers who want to "try out the spread of fragrance in an actual store," we are offering a free trial installation. If you are considering odor control and fragrance creation for your store or office, please feel free to contact us.

We have published an observation record of red artificial leather with a grain pattern (embossed surface) captured using "TR-100" (technology: FORESIGHT STEREO). This is a commercially available standard product and not a defective sample. ■ Four images from a single capture From eight images taken with lighting directions changed in eight ways, we output Live / 2D Texture / 3D Surface / Surface Normal. ■ Color patterns and textures have "different shapes" When enlarged, patterns that appear as wide bands and islands in color show up as fine grooves in the 3D Surface. ■ Consideration materials for shape-related items This may be useful for examining scratches, grain flattening, foreign objects, wrinkles, and more. Evaluation with defective samples is yet to come. We accept inquiries for sample photography.

TOMOMI RESEARCH Co., Ltd. exhibited at the "2025 Kanagawa Prefecture New Partners/New Business Creation Exhibition" held at the headquarters of an automobile manufacturer on November 12 and 13, 2025 (organized by Kanagawa Prefecture and the Kanagawa Industrial Promotion Center). ■ 3D Imaging Technology "FORESIGHT STEREO": Visualizing glossy surfaces and fine irregularities as shapes differentiated by color ■ AI Anomaly Detection Engine "E3 ENGINE": Learning with small data sets and accommodating a variety of products ■ AI Visual Inspection System "TR-100/TR-300": Image of implementation for automotive parts, resin molded products, metal processed products, etc. Many engineers, researchers, and production technology personnel visited our booth.

At the "International Imaging Equipment Exhibition 2025" held in December 2025, a demonstration of our 3D imaging technology "FORESIGHT STEREO" was showcased at the booth of our partner company. The demo synchronizes a line scan camera with multi-directional lighting to visualize the surface of the transported object in real-time 3D. - 3D representation of fine unevenness that is difficult to assess with 2D images for long items and roll materials. - High-resolution processing compatible with line scan cameras. - Visualization of the surface using a normal map and highlighting of defect areas. We received interest from those in fields such as battery manufacturing, film and sheet production, and resin molded products.
