Mitsubishi Electric Corporation and NTT DoCoMo Inc (hereinafter referred to as “DoCoMo”) announced that they have signed a collaborative agreement with Fairyview® (Fairy View), an aerial-view video synthesis technology from Mitsubishi Electric, in order to conduct technical verifications for the practical use of new monitoring camera services utilizing DoCoMo’s 5G.

Mitsubishi Electric’s Fairyview sends full high-definition video data captured by surveillance cameras to image processing servers. Therefore, a faster communication network is indispensable for the generation of smooth aerial-view images.

This time, by utilizing DoCoMo’s 5G, high-definition video data can be transmitted in real time from multiple cameras without being compressed. As a result, it is possible to realize wireless cameras, which are difficult with the present LTE (Long Term Evolution).

At present, there are many places　such as high-rise buildings or the ceilings of commercial facilities, where it is difficult to install cabling and cameras for aerial-view video synthesis.

It is expected that wireless communications will increase the flexibility of installation and reduce installation costs by eliminating the need for fixed-line communications.

The two companies are now working to solve environmental problems, resource and energy problems, and other various social challenges aiming to offer systems and services, using technologies for congestion and human flow analysis, in the future.
