mission

In the course of preparing for this seminar, I finally found the answer to where I should go. 1) Realize "if you can see it, you can detect it" with simple operations. 2) Quantify the sensation of visual inspection, and eliminate excess products [...].

If I were to read it again, I would say to myself, "This is interesting. I guess so. This book has been used in a variety of mail [...].

Introduction to Image Processing for Machine Vision and Image Inspection

A book for which I had the honor of writing a few pages has recently been published. It is called "Preface. The above page describes most of the contents of the book, but what I wrote is quite different as an "introduction to image processing". Perhaps it is an unconventional approach [...].

Sharing Goals

What we think when we visit our clients. The most important thing is to achieve simplicity that can be used in the field. And to be able to offer it at a price that is commensurate with the return on investment. And... to share goals with the field. In order to really achieve results, we need to have a lot of know-how [...].
