[Face recognition application development] Consultation on trial production and mass production using RealSense ID F455

Unipos has been handling a wider variety of 3D cameras for some time. In addition to the needs of research and development such as obstacle detection, space recognition, movement and structure recognition of objects such as people and objects, and system construction, 3D camerasIt is used in a wide range of fields such as entertainment, security, and computer vision.

When considering these 3D cameras as candidates for new application development and service construction, you may be concerned about performance, functions, quality, availability, and delivery time.

For example, Intel's RealSense, which we started handling around 2015, has a lot of delivery records, although the series and model are different.Not limited to Intel's RealSenseMost of the cameras we handle can be handled from "one" (for some products including modules, the minimum lot can be specified).In addition, popular cameras are in stock at our company, so we can deliver them in a short delivery time.

Utilizing such proven products is also convenient for prototyping, prototyping, verification, evaluation, and commercialization in a short period of time.

This time, a camera specializing in face recognition that was just released by Intel in January. RealSense ID F455 We will introduce the flow up to mass production using.

Intel RealSense ID F455  Is currently accepting reservations.
* We accept consultations on mass production before shipping the product.

* Added on March 2021, 3 *
Intel RealSense ID F455 Peripheral is in stock now.In stock and immediate delivery.
We accept consultations for mass production.

 

What is an Intel RealSense ID that specializes in face recognition?

 Intel RealSense ID, A reliable face recognition camera designed with privacy as a top priority to protect users.While the registration process is simpleAll locally processed user data (face image) is encrypted.Authentication is as fast as less than a second.

* The excellent point is here!

  • Free software for face recognition (try it now!)
  • In addition to face recognition, it is equipped with a "spoofing prevention function" based on the technology cultivated with stereo cameras.
  • Small size and easy to incorporate when designing products
  • Not only Windows but also Linux and android will be supported (coming soon)

* Because it is a model specialized for face recognition, unlike other RealSense models, it is not intended for use other than face recognition.

 

Face recognition use cases-What are the possible uses?

Industries or industries that require face recognition are assumed to be security-related, business efficiency, and equipment (entrances of companies and hotels, etc.), and are used for smart locks such as homes, condominiums, and apartments, kiosk terminals, and offices. Entry / exit management, learning history management, attendance confirmation, etc.

For example, a hotel room key.Have you ever wondered who manages the keys at your accommodation?It is common for guests to be given multiple key cards (room keys) so that they do not have to worry, but if the entrance incorporates face recognition, it is possible to enter and leave the room "keylessly".

What happens if we add face recognition technology to existing products and services that did not have face recognition technology until now?In some cases, it may be possible to improve not only convenience but also quality itself.

Consultation for mass production

1. Select-Product selection-

Check the specifications etc. to see if the camera has the function (or performance) to realize the service requested by the customer.If you have any questions for the manufacturer, you can ask them directly or via us.

* If you have contacted the manufacturer in advance, please let us know so that the project can proceed smoothly.In addition, you may feel uneasy about the use of overseas products in terms of acquisition and payment.In such a case, if you consult with us, which has a bypass with overseas vendors, we will support you so that you can proceed smoothly from trial production to mass production.

  • Smooth negotiations and adjustments with overseas manufacturers
  • You can ask technical questions directly or through us (some charges apply)
  • Easy procedure (Our company (Tegara Corporation) handles procedures with overseas manufacturers)

 

2. Try-Verification / Evaluation-

By utilizing existing products, prototypes and prototypes can be prepared quickly, and processes such as performance and operability evaluation and product design can be accelerated.In addition, the sooner it is introduced to the market, the more it may lead to the enhancement of not only the performance and quality that are important for manufacturing, but also the superiority of the product or service itself.

In the next chapter (Verifying and evaluating Intel RealSense ID), we will show you how to try the product.

3. Mass production-commercialization / production planning-

If you are considering mass production of products using Intel RealSense ID, please let us know in advance as it is necessary to check not only the inventory but also the production status of the manufacturer.Mass production plans vary from customer to customer.We will help you to realize your schedule and plan as much as possible.

  • Institution name: Company name, etc.
  • Application: The service or system you plan to use
  • Forecast: Planned annual (or monthly) number

* It is important to present the forecast as the specifications may change without notice.Although it depends on the manufacturer and the ordering system, if the number of production is determined by forecast (estimated number of units), the delivery date may be extended depending on the production status.In some cases, priority shipment is expected for the volume of the project.For this reason, please contact Forecast.

 

Verify and evaluate Intel RealSense ID

When selecting a product, it is important to be able to achieve the purpose of your application development.Therefore, early "verification" is required.

 Intel RealSense ID, Supports plug and playF455 PeripheralsAnd for embeddedF450 ModuleThere are two lineups.Both can enter the verification stage as soon as they are in stock.

* Intel RealSense ID F455 Peripheral will be in stock at our company in early March (reservations are being accepted).
We will inform you again when we can guide you by "instant delivery".

* Real Sense ID F455 Camera Peripheral is in stock.
In stock and immediate delivery (as of March 2021, 3).

 

1. First try with the kit


Intel RealSense ID F455 PeripheralIs a starter kit (hereinafter referred to as "kit") that you can start using as soon as you receive it... The F455 camera and external host system can be connected with the included USB cable (the main unit is connected via a Type-C connector, and the external host system is connected via an external cable (usually USB2)).

set content:
・ Intel RealSense ID F455 main unit
・ Mini tripod
・ Bracket for tripod (1/4 ″ 20 UNC, screw)
・ USB 3.0 Type-C cable

 

2. Try with multiple units (check operation with kit or module)

If you select "Intel RealSense ID" as the device to be used for face recognition and you want to verify with multiple devices, you can select either "Kit" or "Module".Kits are sold from 1 unit, and modules are sold in units of 10.

 

3. Try with rental tegakari

Demonstration line for rental of "tegakari", a service that allows you to borrow popular Unipos products for free for 7 daysIntel RealSense ID F455 Peripheral (kit)Will also be added.We will let you know when the rental starts.

Precautions-Product warranty / maintenance parts-

Domestic customers are required to extend the warranty period (3 years or 5 years), especially for machinery and equipment.However, the perception of warranty differs between Japan and overseas.Basically, there is no extension beyond the warranty period stated on the hardware product.

Warranty example

  • Within one week after delivery (excluding non-business days)
  • If more than one week has passed after delivery, we will not be able to replace the initial defect.
  • We will replace non-defective products for "1 year after delivery" (only in case of natural failure or initial failure)

In the case of overseas products, even if there is an initial failure or product warranty period, it will be difficult to respond in a short period of time due to the time difference between Japan and overseas and the timing of transportation.Alternatively, depending on the timing of arrival, it is possible to change the model of the package or product itself (individual difference), or change the attached parts.Therefore, in the case of mass production, please be assured that we will use parts (maintenance parts) to alleviate these problems.
