TOSHIBA TELI Booth at ITE2020
TOSHIBA TELI Booth at ITE2020

Toshiba Teli Corporation participated in the International Technical Exhibition on Image Technology and Equipment (ITE) 2020 held at PACIFICO Yokohama from December 2 (Wed.) to December 4 (Fri.) to showcase high-pixel-count cameras with CoaXPress 2.0, Dual USB3, USB3, and other interfaces, various industrial cameras with different interfaces (CoaXPress, USB3, GigE, Camera Link cameras), and diverse inspection solutions.
As part of our efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we also demonstrated the usefulness of our system to identify visitors who are not wearing a face mask and measure visitors’ body temperature at the entrance of our booth.
As an application example, we exhibited ViewLED from Toshiba Lighting & Technology Corporation, an LED light equipped with Teli’s camera.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for all the people who visited our booth.

① CoaXPress 2.0 camera; EX670AMG-X (under development)

We showcased the EX670AMG-X 67-million-pixel (67MP) CMOS monochrome camera with four lanes of the latest CoaXPress V2.0 CXP-12 interface in comparison with the existing BU1207MG 12.28-million-pixel (12.3MP) CMOS monochrome camera with a USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface.

With the EX670AMG-X, we played a non-blurry high-definition video captured at a frame rate of 60 fps or more that simulates an inspection of printed circuit boards, showing square workpieces over a frame of 8,192-by-8,192 pixels. It was compared with an image captured by the 12.3MP camera to make the resolution of the EX670AMG-X stand out.

The latest TeliViewer viewer contained in TeliCamSDK, the latest software development kit, was used to import images. Whereas different viewers were previously necessary for each interface, TeliViewer provides connectivity, viewing, and control capabilities for USB3, GigE, and CoaXPress cameras, further increasing ease of use. In addition, TeliViewer provides enhanced image display processing, making it possible to obtain full high-speed performance from the camera.

② C-mount camera with Gen-4 24.5MP Pregius S; BU2409MCF (new product)

We demonstrated the BU2409MCF color camera incorporating the Gen-4 24.47-million-pixel (24.5MP) Pregius backside-illuminated CMOS image sensor from Sony Corporation in comparison with four units of the BU505MCF 5.01-million-pixcel (5MP) color CMOS camera that together provide a pixel count equivalent to the BU2409MCF.

Despite a high pixel count of 24.5MP, the CMOS image sensor of the BU2409MCF fits in a 1.2-inch optical format, making it possible to realize the BU2409MCF as a C-mount camera. Therefore, the BU2409MCF serves as an easy replacement for conventional C-mount cameras when you need a higher resolution.
A single unit of the 24.5MP BU2409MCF suffices when you need a resolution achievable with four units of a 5MP camera.

③ Cameras with a Dual USB3 interface realizing 10Gbps transfer bandwidth; DDU1607MCF (new product) and DDU1207MCF

We showcased a unique Dual USB3 camera with two channels of the USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface.
We demonstrated the new DDU1207MCF 12.28-million-pixel (12.3MP) CMOS color camera and the existing DDU1607MCF 16-million-pixel (16MP) CMOS color camera, showing non-blurry high-resolution images of a rotating object captured at high speed via an external trigger.

⑤ RGB+NIR 5.3MP CMOS camera (pre-launch exhibit)

We demonstrated an RGB+NIR camera with a 5.33-million-pixel (5.3MP) CMOS image sensor capable of capturing visible and near-infrared (NIR) light simultaneously. The demonstration was designed to inspect the printing conditions on the surface of packages via RGB images and internal foreign substances and dents via NIR images at the same time.

Since one of the pixels of the color filter of this camera is allocated to the NIR region, it is capable of simultaneous capture of RGB and NIR images, eliminating the need to build a large system composed of multiple monochrome, color, and other types of cameras and therefore making it possible to reduce system size.

⑥ Special optical solution for scratch inspection (pre-launch exhibit)

We showcased an optical solution capable of performing a scratch inspection with a single shot.A special optical system can display scratches on the surface of plastics in color without post-processing using a PC.

In a demonstration, its application software highlighted scratches in red and displayed the word “NG” when the red area exceeded a preset threshold.
This inspection system is an amalgamation of camera technologies of Toshiba Teli Corporation, special optical technologies of the Corporate Research & Development Center of Toshiba Corporation, and AI-based technologies of Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation.
The special optical and AI-based technologies combine to colorize difficult-to-observe micron-scale superficial scratches and foreign substances as well as dents and uneven conditions on metal surfaces, allowing for easy identification.
Since this solution is capable of single-shot inspection, it can be incorporated into a continuously operating conveyor and simplifies post-processing, enabling high-speed automatic inspection and thus deriving the optimal performance from machine vision cameras.

⑦ Proposal for using artificial intelligence to save the labor required for visual inspection; PEKAT Vision (pre-launch exhibit)

We demonstrated a scratch inspection for camera chassis, combining the PEKAT Vision deep-learning software from PEKAT s.r.o. in Czechoslovakia and Teli’s camera.

It required only two to three hours to teach the AI engine to recognize scratches and three to four hours for the learning, verification, and tuning of the AI engine. PEKAT Vision allowed us to create a highly accurate model in a relatively short time.
For the teaching work, we prepared only 30 sets of images of chassis with and without a scratch. You can provide a teaching set of images for PEKAT Vision simply by tracing scratches on the PEKAT Vision GUI just like on a graphics editor. Then, on a single click, PEKAT Vision does the rest of the work from learning to verification.

Case study <Special corner>

⑧LED light equipped with a camera; ViewLED

As an application example, we exhibited ViewLED from Toshiba Lighting & Technology Corporation, an LED light equipped with Teli’s camera.

ViewLED is pre-equipped with a security camera, eliminating the need for electrical work to install a camera. In other words, electrical work for the installation of an LED light suffices. ViewLED allows security monitoring via Wi-Fi. (A wired connection was used for the exhibit.) Since nothing is generally placed under a ceiling light, ViewLED provides wide coverage and clear images.

The following are the major specifications of the pre-equipped camera;

  • Sensor: 1/2.8-inch CMOS image sensor
  • Resolution: 8MP
  • Compression: H.264
  • Output signal: Ethernet (wired LAN: 100BASE-TX, wireless LAN: IEEE 802.11b/g/n, 2.4 GHz)

COVID-19 Infection spread prevention system <Booth entrance>

⑨ System for identifying visitors who are not wearing a face mask

At the entrance of our booth, we demonstrated a system for identifying visitors without a face mask and raising an alert.

A monitoring camera was set up at the back of the booth to capture the entrance area. When this system finds visitors without a face mask, it displays the alert “NO MASK” and tracks their faces.
In addition, the face attribute recognition function shows the estimated age and gender simultaneously.

  • Milestone Smart Client / Intelligent viewer plugin

⑩ Body temperature monitoring system

In addition to the face mask recognition system, we demonstrated a thermographic camera to monitor visitors’ body temperature at the entrance of our booth.
Its monitoring/viewer software has been developed by Teli.

This system measures and displays the face temperature of the person standing right across the camera.
