[Field of reseach] Meter Reading, Image Analysis

Project

Trying new technologies and machines Using technology that matches virtual images cultivated in VR research and real images, he has developed an analog meter-reading software to improve the efficiency of patrols, an issue that has recently garnered attention. NEC and CRIEPI jointly developed a "Meter Monitoring Solution", an image recognition technology, formally launched as "NEC Meter Monitoring Solution". With his background in anomaly detection technology from image and sensor-acquired data and countermeasures for wildlife and vegetation damage, he has conducted extensive research on long-term observation camera systems in places without electricity. He creates digital devices for research and uses machines and drones.
