Omron has been a pioneer in Image Sensing Technology for over 20 years with its OKAO Vision software IP leading the way. The term OKAO is the Japanese word for “face”, so it’s no surprise that Omron’s technology offers features such as Face Detection, Face Recognition, and Age/Gender Estimation. Over time, the OKAO sophisticated algorithm has progressed to take into consideration a variety of conditions and environments.
Today, OKAO demonstrates high performance on a variety of applications regardless of face type and photoshoot conditions. The expansive OKAO software library of image sensing functions to understand humans includes:
Detection Functions:
Recognize/Estimate Functions:
Adjust/Correction Functions:
For many, incorporating software technology can be the most challenging aspect in a design. OKAO technology provides flexibility as it can work with any platform (OS Independent) with a system requirement of only 32-bit or 64-bit.
The versatility of OKAO allows it to be used in multiple applications such as Industrial Controls, Basic Security, Communication Robots, Digital Camera, Mobile Devices, Digital Signage, etc. varying over multiple industries. You can find examples of where human interaction is a critical component for the overall user experience below:
Key Features of OKAO Technology:
Another key highlight of OKAO technology is its small footprint and memory requirements. Essentially OKAO software can work with any embedded linux platform such as raspberry pi, and more, which allows users to develop diverse applications.
Through OMRON innovation, OKAO Human Image Sensing Technology brings users variety, flexibility and versatility to meet an array of design needs. Join the upcoming OMRON webinar and discover how OKAO technology can fit into your application.
