Human “Sensing” and “Understanding”
by OMRON image sensing technology
People’s conditions recognizable simply by mounting
an HVC on equipment
Full range of functions
Ten different sensing functions are incorporated to
recognize the intentions and conditions of people
from a variety of perspectives.
Available functions are:
1) Human Body Detection, 2) Hand Detection, 3) Face Detection,
4) Face Direction Estimation, 5) Age Estimation, 6) Gender Estimation,
7) Blink Estimation, 8) Expression Estimation (satisfied, unsatisfied,
five different expressions:happiness, surprise, anger, sadness, and neutral),
9) Face Recognition, and 10) Gaze Estimation
High precision
Application Example
Home appliances
Marketing research (POS registers and automatic venders)
Industrial equipment (food processing equipment)
Robotics (robotic pets)

Degree of confidence Confidence in the estimation result (0 to 1000), a higher value indicates a higher confidence
Age Estimation Age 0 to 75 (75 includes higher ages)
Degree of confidence Confidence in the estimation result (0 to 1000), a higher value indicates a higher confidence
Gender Estimation Gender Male or female
Degree of confidence Confidence in the estimation result (0 to 1000), a higher value indicates a higher confidence
Blink Estimation Blink degree Output for both eyes (1 to 1000), a higher value indicates the eye is closer to being fully shut
Expression Estimation
Score for 5 expressions
0 to 100
The score will be output for each expression (“neutral”, “happiness”, “surprise”, “anger” and
“sadness”). The score indicates the likeliness of a face displaying the estimated expression,
where a higher score indicates a higher likeliness of being that expression.
Expression degree (positive or negative)
+100 to -100
A degree closer to +100 indicates a high degree of “happiness” while a degree closer to
-100 indicates a high degree of “surprise”, “anger” or “sadness”.
Face Recognition
Individual identification result Displays the registered User ID, or “non-registered” for non-registered individuals Maximum
number of users: 500
Score
Matching degree (0 to 1000)
The result of the user with the highest matching degree is output.
A degree closer to 1000 indicates a higher likeliness of being that user.
Gaze Estimation Yaw angle Positive to the right (in degrees)
Pitch angle Positive upwards (in degrees)

Detection Distance (for reference *)
* Caution: Please note that the detection and estimation performance will gradually fall when exceeding the maximum distance indicated for reference.
Please note that being within the range indicated above does not always guarantee successful detection.
Angle range (for reference *1)
*1. The detection and estimation accuracy will fall when outside the specified angle range.
Please note that being within range indicated above does not always guarantee successful detection.
*2. “Up direction 15°” indicates that the camera is looking up to the target from a 15° downward angle and “Down direction -30°” indicates that the camera is looking
down to the target from a 30° upward angle.
*3. This indicates all the directions to the left and right of the human body.
*4. This is the angle when facing the camera.

Mounting (Unit: mm)
*1. This figure is for a frontal mounting direction (0°) of the module.
The software settings need to be changed when set to a 90°, 180° or 270° clockwise mounting direction from the front (0°).
*2. Use the M3 screws to fix the board in the four corners.
Make sure to not bend or break the board when fixing the screws.
Make sure to also use the tightening torques provided.
Make sure to fix the board so that it is not warped, bent or any under unreasonable stress.
Make sure that the board is sufficiently distanced from any electrically-conductive part.
*3. The 6 dia. (×4) hatching sections indicate the acceptable area for metallic components.
*4. Do not subject the board to stress, such as twisting or bending, when fixing it.
*5. Fix the board in a safe distance from the surrounding current-carrying elements.
