THine Electronics, Inc. and California Eastern Laboratories, Inc. announced launching a CDK, Camera Development Kit, which provides an innovative ease-of-design tool to advanced camera system developers. More advanced camera systems require specialized co-dependency of multiple components, resulting in more complicated design challenges. ISP firmware design is one of the hardest challenges, as it depends on (1) CMOS image sensor and related camera module components, (2) image improvements according to Customer’s requirements and preferences, and (3) other requirements such as video compression. In addition, typical ISP firmware development needs thousands of script lines, which requires highly trained programming expertise. Using the CDK enables lower development costs and faster time to market than other alternatives including FPGA’s and ASIC’s. The CDK consists of hardware, firmware, and THine’s specialized GUI-based tuning tool requiring limited expertise with minimum training. The interactive GUI-based software provides real-time camera image feedback, facilitating image tuning and system device changes to be optimized for customer preferred CMOS sensors/modules. The CDK supports all the critical image processing functions such as Noise Reduction, Defect Correction, Exposure Control, Focus Control, White Balance Control, Video Compression, and more. Applications include, but are not limited to, wearable cameras for XR (AR/VR/MR), surveillance cameras, machine vision, document scanners, and medical equipment.
THine Electronics, Inc. is a Japan-based company primarily engaged in the large scale integration (LSI) business and artificial intelligence and Internet of Things (AIOT) business. The Company has two business segments. The LSI segment is engaged in the development and sale of flat panels and other mixed signal LSI products for office equipment, amusements, security cameras, in-vehicle equipment, flat screen televisions, liquid crystal panels, personal computers and other fields, as well as the intellectual property (IP) licensing business through products development. The AIOT segment is engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of hardware and software for artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) devices, and mobile communication devices.
