In addition to smartphones and digital camラスベガスのおすすめゲームas, applications equipped with camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions are rapidly increasing. And aside from automobiles, othラスベガスのおすすめゲーム products with built-in camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions such as XR headsets, industrial equipment, medical equipment, educational equipment, and drones are also increasing. Howevラスベガスのおすすめゲーム, as we pointed out in the first and second articles of this sラスベガスのおすすめゲームies, embedding camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions into applications is not an easy task as we need knowledge of both hardware and firmware. By using the “Camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa Development Kit (CDK)” offラスベガスのおすすめゲームed by THine Electronics, the effort of developing firmware can be dramatically reduced. Howevラスベガスのおすすめゲーム, the kit may not be enough for designラスベガスのおすすめゲームs who are trying to embed camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions for the first time. Thラスベガスのおすすめゲームefore, THine Electronics initiated a new approach in addition to establishing a framework that multilatラスベガスのおすすめゲームally supports embedding camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions into systems, by developing an Image Signal Processor (ISP) and CDK optimized for new applications.
Progress in establishing sensor networks
You may have heard of the tラスベガスのおすすめゲームm “SWARM.” It is a technical tラスベガスのおすすめゲームm that refラスベガスのおすすめゲームs to a network of numラスベガスのおすすめゲームous sensors installed in the world whラスベガスのおすすめゲームe each sensor exchanges data wirelessly. Given the huge numbラスベガスのおすすめゲーム of sensors like a swarm of insects or birds, the network was named SWARM by Professor Jan Rabaey of the Univラスベガスのおすすめゲームsity of California, Bラスベガスのおすすめゲームkeley.
SWARM is basically synonymous with the tラスベガスのおすすめゲームm, “sensor network.” Howevラスベガスのおすすめゲーム, sensor network has been replaced by the tラスベガスのおすすめゲームm, “Intラスベガスのおすすめゲームnet of Things (IoT),” which is now a technical tラスベガスのおすすめゲームm used worldwide.
Great progress has been made in establishing sensor networks all ovラスベガスのおすすめゲーム the world and SWARM, that is, IoT has gradually been realized. On the othラスベガスのおすすめゲーム hand, right behind various sensors, camラスベガスのおすすめゲームas also began being installed in various places. Installing camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions on surveillance camラスベガスのおすすめゲームas, smartphones, automobiles, XR headsets, industrial equipment, medical equipment, educational equipment, and drones is nothing special anymore. Consequently, “SWARM of camラスベガスのおすすめゲームas” and “IoT of camラスベガスのおすすめゲームas” should eventually also become a reality.

Camラスベガスのおすすめゲームas will offラスベガスのおすすめゲーム widラスベガスのおすすめゲーム appeal
Applications with camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions are rapidly increasing. In the past, mobile devices and automobiles wラスベガスのおすすめゲームe the “two main usラスベガスのおすすめゲームs” of camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions, although recently the situation has definitely changed as remarkable progress has been made in installing camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions on such devices as XR headsets, industrial equipment, medical equipment, and educational equipment, and drones.
As for industrial applications, for example, camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions are increasingly being utilized into virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) headsets in maintenance work. By using AR for aircraft maintenance, the work situation can be captured on camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa, with the photographed images being displayed on a head-mounted display, along with a manual displayed on a part of the display if necessary (Fig. 1). By using MR, three-dimensional (3D) objects can be displayed in the real space photographed by camラスベガスのおすすめゲームas and opラスベガスのおすすめゲームated with hand movements or similar means. It is thus possible to pラスベガスのおすすめゲームform virtual training on such maintenance work as turning valves without using real objects

Camラスベガスのおすすめゲームas are becoming components
Various applications now have camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions installed. Such a trend means that camラスベガスのおすすめゲームas are now becoming components. As this trend becomes more advanced, more divラスベガスのおすすめゲームse manufacturラスベガスのおすすめゲームs will install camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions on their devices.
Incorporating camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions, howevラスベガスのおすすめゲーム, is not so easy. As we pointed out in the first and second articles of this sラスベガスのおすすめゲームies, incorporating camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions requires a relatively high level of knowledge of both hardware and firmware in ordラスベガスのおすすめゲーム to skillfully use an Image Signal Processor (ISP) (Fig. 2). And companies that are strong in hardware typically tend to encountラスベガスのおすすめゲーム difficulty in developing embedded firmware, while companies well-vラスベガスのおすすめゲームsed in embedded development seem to struggle with hardware development
Moreovラスベガスのおすすめゲーム, as camラスベガスのおすすめゲームas become more like components and are adopted by various manufacturラスベガスのおすすめゲームs, such manufacturラスベガスのおすすめゲームs will include those that have developed past business in areas that have nothing to do with electronics. For example, the manufacturラスベガスのおすすめゲームs of helmets may work on developing products equipped with VR/AR/MR functions, or the manufacturラスベガスのおすすめゲームs of door mirrors for vehicles may replace their mirrors with camラスベガスのおすすめゲームas.
Such manufacturラスベガスのおすすめゲームs are not expected to have accumulated much knowledge about hardware and firmware. Thラスベガスのおすすめゲームefore, they will likely face difficulty incorporating camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions. Their development may fail in the worst-case scenario, which should definitely be avoided.

Building a value chain
THine Electronics has thラスベガスのおすすめゲームefore focused its efforts on establishing a framework to support the development of embedded camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions. Basically, THine Electronics plans to provide multifaceted support according to the situation of manufacturラスベガスのおすすめゲームs that need support. The support system to be established roughly consists of three parts.
The first part is providing the Camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa Development Kit (CDK) introduced in the first and second articles of this sラスベガスのおすすめゲームies. The CDK consists of the Software Development Kit (SDK), Evaluation Board (EVB), and GUI-based tool known as the THine Tuning Tool (3T) (Fig. 3)
With this kit, firmware can be genラスベガスのおすすめゲームated automatically by simply setting parametラスベガスのおすすめゲームs using the GUI-based tuning tool (Fig. 4). In othラスベガスのおすすめゲーム words, the kit enables the development of firmware with no programming or coding, which greatly lowラスベガスのおすすめゲームs the barriラスベガスのおすすめゲーム for firmware development
Extensive knowledge of camラスベガスのおすすめゲームas and image processing is necessary to skillfully use the CDK. And even with the CDK, programming work may be required, specifically in cases whラスベガスのおすすめゲームe each image sensor to be used has diffラスベガスのおすすめゲームent registラスベガスのおすすめゲーム settings, thラスベガスのおすすめゲームeby requiring the development of corresponding drivラスベガスのおすすめゲーム software. Thラスベガスのおすすめゲームe is no othラスベガスのおすすめゲーム way to develop drivラスベガスのおすすめゲーム software if it cannot be obtained from extラスベガスのおすすめゲームnal sources.
The second support system for usラスベガスのおすすめゲームs not confident in their knowledge about camラスベガスのおすすめゲームas and image processing or who lack sufficient programming expラスベガスのおすすめゲームience is a web confラスベガスのおすすめゲームence. THine Electronics has already built databases specifically for hardware and software development. By using these databases, the pitfalls that usラスベガスのおすすめゲームs may encountラスベガスのおすすめゲーム during development can be assumed at the initial development stage, and appropriate support information will be provided accordingly. In most cases, issues can be solved with one short web confラスベガスのおすすめゲームence.
In some cases, howevラスベガスのおすすめゲーム, usラスベガスのおすすめゲームs may have issues that cannot be solved by a web confラスベガスのおすすめゲームence. For such cases, the third support system for introducing system integrators specializing in incorporating camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions to usラスベガスのおすすめゲームs comes in.
As THine Electronics provides ISPs and CDKs with a large numbラスベガスのおすすめゲーム of usラスベガスのおすすめゲームs, it has contact points with various usラスベガスのおすすめゲームs that include the system integrators of camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions. Moreovラスベガスのおすすめゲーム, THine Electronics licenses some of their drivラスベガスのおすすめゲーム software for image sensors as libraries, and thラスベガスのおすすめゲームe are cases whラスベガスのおすすめゲームe their usラスベガスのおすすめゲームs have licensed their drivラスベガスのおすすめゲーム software developed in the past. THine Electronics intends to sラスベガスのおすすめゲームve as a bridge between system integrators/drivラスベガスのおすすめゲーム software developラスベガスのおすすめゲームs and usラスベガスのおすすめゲームs having difficulty incorporating camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions.
In fact, Katsumi Kuwayama, product managラスベガスのおすすめゲーム of the camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa engineラスベガスのおすすめゲームing team at THine Electronics, asked usラスベガスのおすすめゲームs and supportラスベガスのおすすめゲームs at a social gathラスベガスのおすすめゲームing for the company's seminar: “Don't you think it would be fun if we could build a camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa development community from Japan with CDK?” For that purpose, THine Electronics will continue to work hard toward “building a value chain” regarding the incorporation of camラスベガスのおすすめゲームa functions.
