Looking a for Facial Recognition Hardware Tester!

UPDATE Feb 2019:
This first ran last year and I have just received another HVC if people would like to pitch an idea!

Hello everyone,

 

Well... I have a treat for you today!

 

We have been approached by OMRON to help them look for someone to build a project and write about using their HVC system.

HVC stands for Human Vision Components, which is a OKAO image / human / face recognition system with all the processing on board that communicates its findings via UART.

The board and camera set has detection and processing on board for:

  • Face Detection
  • Face Recognition
  • Gender Estimation
  • Age Estimation
  • Expression Estimation
  • Facial Pose Estimation
  • Gaze Estimation
  • Blink Estimation
  • Hand Detection
  • Human Body Detection

 

 

Product Link:

B5T-007001-010 OMRON ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS, Sensor, Image Recognition, Human Vision Components, 50 Degree, 1600 x 1200 P…

 

Technical PDF with features and interfacing:

http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/2305641.pdf

 

OMRON have one board up for grabs and a pot of money for a fee for some one that can:

 

  • Take the product through its paces.
  • Build a test project with it.
  • Blog about it on the element14 community.
  • Demonstrate its 10 Functions.
  • Interact with it via UART as party of a project.
  • Interact with the product using USB and the SDK in a Windows Operating system environment. (The product prefers Windows 7)

 

Person Spec

Do you think you can handle this product?

Would you like to own this product for free?

Can you write an interesting blog with rich media?

Would you like to be paid a set fee for all this?

Do you have experience with UART?

Can you building and documenting projects?

Do you have experience on Windows 7 for installing the GUI SDK?

 

If you answered yes to all of these questions I would love for you to comment below about what your plans would be if they were to send you the product. :-)

 

Super Small Print. Payment would be after completion of the Blog(s) and at the discretion of OMRON, this is an external exchange between omron and the engineer and subject to their terms.

  • Hi Phil,

     

    I am a researcher in Robotics. Since the past few years, I have been working on various projects that involve autonomous systems, embedded systems and computer vision. So far I have only been working with Rpi cameras and USB cameras for computer vision applications. Just came across the HVC system which could be used for such kind of applications. I am curious to integrate this into one of my ongoing projects which involves image processing using Raspberry Pi and Rpi cam. I am doubly excited to find that this HVC system has inbuilt processing capability and works with Rpi too. It will take much of the processing load from the raspberry allowing it to run other critical tasks. Let me know if a piece is available for testing.

     

    The following are already a part of my project requirement.

    • Face Detection
    • Face Recognition
    • Facial Pose Estimation
    • Hand Detection
    • Human Body Detection

     

    Nevertheless, I will be happy to include the remaining part too. I can also include the results in my project pages or as a separate review of the product itself.

     

    Thanks and regards,

    Cris
