HVC module provides very fast recognition speed

Omron’s HVC-P2 multi-function sensor module is now available through TTI Europe. The product provides a maximum recognition speed that is 10 times faster than previous HVC system sensors from the company. The module features their OKAO vision technology for recognising human face expression, gender, age, gaze, and blink into a camera module. It can detect a human body four times per second, reliably keeping track of a person within a detection area without fail. The sensor module consists of a camera and a separate main board, connected via a flexible flat cable. It offers long-distance (50-degree lens) and wide-angle (90-degree lens) detection type camera heads. Equipment embedded with the component can detect and presume attributes as well as conditions of a user in its vicinity without them being aware of the camera. This detection capability allows the equipment to enable services based on that user's attributes. The device can be used in a variety of sensing and IoT applications, including vending machines, lighting and security products, heating and cooling systems, robotics, home appliances, and digital signage.
