Microsystems
Microsystems, Inc. is a technology-oriented enterprise carrying out the research, development, and business for the world’s first electronic self-cleaning glass, known as Drop Free Glass (DFG), operated by unique microfluidic technology. Outdoor surveillance cameras have been employed in various industrial fields from CCTV and monitoring systems to traffic control systems. As artificial intelligence(AI), machine learning(ML), and Internet of things(IoT) technologies are developing, the importance of the role of AI cameras is growing in modern society. However, since AI cameras are used under various environmental conditions, they are susceptible to various contaminants such as rain and dust, resulting in errors in the AI cameras.
Microsystems, Inc. first developed a DFG-aided outdoor surveillance AI camera for daily life safety and future industries such as smart cities and factories; therefore, DFG-aided outdoor surveillance camera can improve the visibility and recognition rate of the AI camera in various environmental conditions even during heavy rainfall. The proposed DFG-aided AI camera uses only electrical signal controls to remove various contaminants such as rainwater, fogging, and frost. Hence, there is no need for additional mechanical wipers, resulting in the excellent durability and the fast operation along with the future-oriented stealth aircraft design.
