Imaging
Going beyond what's possible today to help shape tomorrow through imaging
Canon’s imaging solutions add color to daily life and underpin public infrastructure.
Network camera systems help solve societal challenges
Network camera systems are essential for security, disaster prevention, and other public infrastructure. Canon meets the needs of each customer by combining the Group’s powerful technologies that make up these systems, including cameras, video management systems, video analytics software, and cloud-based video surveillance. It has also introduced many imaging solutions driving digital transformations in society, such as monitoring road traffic and automating inspections and checks in manufacturing and logistics. In this way, Canon helps solve societal challenges through the power of imaging.
At the forefront of advances in photography and video culture
Since its founding, Canon has continued to evolve its cameras to meet the needs of both professional and amateur users. It has strengthened its camera and lens lineups, including the EOS R System of mirrorless cameras, to respond to growing demand for video. Canon also develops compact digital cameras that pursue image creation beyond what smartphones can achieve. Meanwhile, the Cinema EOS System meets the demanding color reproduction and expressive requirements of professionals, and has expanded to include a new remote camera system. These solutions are now being offered to broadcasters and other organizations seeking both high image quality and more efficient production workflows.
3D imaging is shaping the future
Canon is meeting expectations in the rapidly growing 3D imaging field (which involves the digitizing and visualizing of spatial information) with its proprietary 3D imaging technologies. The EOS VR System, for example, captures 3D video simply by attaching a special lens to a camera, eliminating the need for extensive setups. Canon also developed Dual Pixel 3D technology, which converts captured data into high-resolution 3D data. The company is now further expanding the potential of 3D imaging with volumetric video, which captures actual spaces as 3D data, and with MREAL, MR* video that seamlessly blends reality with 3D CG.
