Vectology Inc, Begins Demonstration of "Accuvision(R)" at Hitachi Construction Machinery's "Kasumigaura Value Creation Hub Accuvision(R)" at Hitachi Construction Machinery's "Kasumigaura Value Creation Hub.

Combining FPGA development know-how to contribute to DX realization at civil engineering and construction sites

株式会社ベクトロジー

Vectology Inc. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture; President: Yoshikazu Shinoda) has started a demonstration of an object detection system using a 180° real-time 4K panoramic camera "Accuvision(R)" at "Kasumigaura Value Creation Hub" (hereinafter referred to as "Kasumigaura VCH"), a research and development facility of Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. (Kasumigaura VCH) (Kasumigaura City, Ibaraki Prefecture), a research and development facility of Hitachi Construction Machinery Co.


Prior to this demonstration, at the 7th International Construction and Surveying Exhibition (CSPI-EXPO2025) held at Makuhari Messe from June 18 (Wed.) to 21 (Sat.), 2025, as part of a demonstration of Hitachi Construction Machinery's real-time digital twin platform, the system was installed from the Kasumigaura VCH The video images of the object detection system using Accuvision(R) were transmitted in real time from Kasumigaura VCH to the venue as part of the demonstration of Hitachi Construction Machinery's real-time digital twin platform.

■About this Demonstration

Hitachi Construction Machinery's real-time digital twin platform is a high-speed IoT platform for digital twinning that collects, analyzes, stores, and shares a wide variety of information in real time, including the position and operating information of construction equipment, the position and biometric information of workers, and surrounding 3D terrain information. This demonstration will connect Accuvision(R) to the real-time digital twin platform built by Hitachi Construction Machinery at Kasumigaura VCH to demonstrate the applicability and value hypothesis for DX realization at civil engineering and construction sites. The project aims to advance digital twin technologies, such as real-time video monitoring from remote environments and acquisition of worker location information, by utilizing Accuvision(R)'s real-time performance, wide field of view, and object detection capabilities.



About Accuvision(R)

Accuvision(R) is a device that uses a fisheye lens to acquire 4K high-definition video with a wide 180° viewing angle and convert it into distortion-free panoramic video in real time. The wide viewing angle and short focal length of the fisheye lens and the real-time panorama conversion technology of high-resolution images enable object detection when combined with AI image recognition technology.

With these features, the system is expected to be used in a wide range of fields, including appearance inspection, remote control, mobility (e.g., automatic driving support), surveillance, and video distribution.



Main User Benefits

A single camera covers a wide field of view and reduces blind spots.

Short depth of field makes it possible to install and use the camera in narrow spaces.

Acquires more detailed visual information than the eye can see thanks to 4K high-resolution video

Realizes precise operation in real time from remote locations

・Combined with AI image recognition technology, object detection is possible.

Contributes to the realization of autonomous driving in the mobility field

Provides unprecedented new perspectives in sports broadcasts, etc.

・Cost reduction by using general-purpose cameras and lenses
