OmniPerception have gained a reputation as a global supplier of computer vision software, specialising in face recognition and advanced image processing. The company’s provides solutions for the automatic detection of objects and brand logos from the broadcast TV footage of all major sporting events, including, Formula 1. They have also developed world leading capabilities in face  recognition and are currently developing products that will unlock the potential of face recognition in a range of markets.  It is this latter capability that brought OmniPerception and Canard together to produce a state of the art face recognition camera for a range of markets.

By designing, micro-managing prototype production and assembling initial batches, Canard has been able to share the problem-solving required during the development process with OmniPerception without them losing control. Furthermore, an iterative development process has allowed us to refine the design continually to ensure the best possible quality, consistency AND the most cost-effective manufacture and assembly approach.

These sheets have been manufactured using photo-etching of 0.4mm thick stainless steel, the parts have been designed to be broken out and bent by hand to form part of the rear panel sub-assembly

The inside face of the rear panels has been sprayed with a nickel coating to help comply with EMC tests. A neat detail built into the rear panel makes fitting the ethernet coupler a simple clip procedure with no additional components or unnecessary fixings. The fan clips in place using a snap fit detail, and the stainless steel plate is held in place by the fan and ethernet coupler, making the whole sub assembly quick and simple.

The image above shows the rear of the Checkpoint.S™ assembly. The rear panels are vacuum cast (a soft tooling technique that results in robust, consistent plastic parts with minimal investment in tooling). Fixings are only visible on the back and top faces – the ones least likely to be seen when the camera is mounted above eye level and angled down.

The end product has been extremely well received by OmniPerception and their clients. Continual communication between Canard and OmniPerception has been key. This has enabled transfer of knowledge, particularly regarding the electronics and mechanical specification required, and has allowed Canard to deliver workable solutions to challenging problems in tight timescales with an appearance and quality of finish that embodies the overall software system OmniPerception are selling.
