Images acquired. Next, an application your team can use.
The camera SDK sample runs and the image processing works. The next step is software that connects operator controls, equipment and result storage into a usable system.
KomuraSoft designs and develops Windows applications for industrial-camera inspection and measurement, primarily using C++, C# and .NET.
Challenges we can help with
- Develop an application around a camera SDK for a product or piece of equipment.
- Integrate image processing with an operator interface.
- Acquire and display continuous images or handle multiple cameras.
- Send measurement, position or pass/fail results to equipment.
- Coordinate imaging with PLC, sensor or I/O signals.
- Store inspection images and results for later investigation.
- Improve existing inspection software and update its SDK or Windows environment.
Our focus is Windows software design and development. We consider acquisition timing, equipment communication, display, storage and failure records alongside image-processing accuracy.
Connect acquisition, processing and result storage
Imaging conditions, cameras and SDKs
Review industrial cameras, line sensors, lighting and trigger conditions. Implement acquisition and camera control using manufacturer SDKs and drivers.
Image processing, inspection and measurement
Implement preprocessing, feature extraction, position detection, dimensional measurement and pass/fail decisions. Review target images and evaluation criteria, then validate accuracy and processing time.
Display, controls and settings
Design live image display, operator controls, configuration and operational logs. Balance processing and display-update loads in an application suited to on-site use.
Equipment integration
Connect acquisition and inspection to PLCs, I/O, sensors and external equipment. Define signal handoffs, timing and behavior under abnormal conditions.
Data storage and traceability
Store images, measurements, decisions and logs in CSV files or databases. Organize the records so that an inspection and what happened during it can be reviewed later.
Existing software maintenance
Investigate bugs, add features, update camera SDKs and migrate to Windows 11. Review existing behavior and operations, then improve the necessary areas first.
You can commission an individual function or a complete application. We separate what already works from what still needs building to make the scope clear.
Support for overseas machine vision manufacturers in Japan
For manufacturers supplying industrial cameras and image-processing equipment to Japan, we develop Windows applications and customize software around customers' equipment and workflows.
SDK applications, Japanese interfaces, existing-equipment integration, technical inquiries and fault isolation can all be discussed with us as your Japan-based software engineering partner.
We support communication in Japanese and English, organizing inquiries and validation findings from Japanese users for information sharing with the manufacturer.
Machine vision experience and Windows specialization
The founder developed machine vision systems in a previous role. That experience, combined with Windows development expertise, informs work on applications spanning camera SDKs, operator interfaces, equipment and data storage.
Machine vision experience refers to the founder's previous professional role and is distinguished from projects commissioned to KomuraSoft LLC. See the founder's profile for details.
KomuraSoft supports device integration applications, including industrial cameras, and investigation of communication stalls and long-running failures. A related published technical case study covers isolating a several-second stall in industrial camera communication.
How an engagement proceeds
Get in touch before the equipment or specification is finalized
Tell us what you need to image, inspect or measure, which camera is in use or under consideration, what equipment it must connect to and any processing-time target. You can start from “the SDK sample works; now we need the application around it.”
