Canon Americas Lab at CES 2026

Ideas in the Making with Canon Americas Lab at CES 2026

Ideas in the Making with Canon Americas Lab at CES 2026

MELVILLE, N.Y., January 5, 2026 — Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, and their Business Innovation Group will exhibit at Eureka Park®, Venetian Expo (Booth #60509) during CES 2026, the most powerful tech event in the world, to be held from Tuesday, January 6 through Friday, January 9, 2026, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

Canon Americas Lab, led by Canon U.S.A., and driven by the Business Innovation Group, serves as a platform where external partners can play a key role in generating new business opportunities. It is a place that promotes collaboration between internal and external ideas and technologies. By strengthening connections with the innovation ecosystem, the Lab aims to create new business opportunities while cultivating a culture of ideation and co-creation.

At CES 2026, under our theme “Ideas in the Making,” Canon will showcase innovative solutions and concepts leveraging its technologies currently in development. In addition, the exhibit will feature initiatives from startups with whom Canon is pursuing technical collaboration and potential future business relationships.

Examples of Solutions and Concepts Leveraging Canon TechnologiesFootnote1:

Portable Volumetric and Motion Capture System

Canon will showcase a prototype of a portable volumetric and motion capture system capable of capturing high-quality 3D data using compact, transportable equipment.

Canon has been providing free-viewpoint video (volumetric video) that enables users to view scenes from any perspective by converting an entire space into 3D data using images captured simultaneously by more than 100 cameras. In response to growing demand for more accessible 3D data generation, Canon is proposing a new system that allows both volumetric data and motion capture data to be captured simultaneously using cutting-edge computer graphics modeling including Gaussian splatting rendering technique. Enhanced portability enables deployment across a wide range of locations and use cases. This technology is anticipated to be used in a range of applications, including corporate marketing and sports analytics. At the booth, visitors can experience the process firsthand by swinging a bat in a baseball batter’s box–inspired area, where the motion is captured and converted into 3D data to generate a unique highlight video.

Combination of SPAD Sensor and Ubicept Software

Canon will present its proprietary SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) sensor for low-light and high-speed imaging. Unlike traditional CMOS sensors, which measure the volume of light accumulated in a pixel as an analog electric signal, the SPAD sensor digitally counts individual light particles (photon). This approach prevents readout noise from entering the signal.

At the booth, Canon will showcase how the SPAD sensor, when combined with image-processing technology from U.S.-based software company Ubicept, enables the clear capture of fast-moving subjects even under challenging lighting conditions. This combination is expected to contribute across a wide range of fields, including inspection on high-speed production lines, enhanced visual capabilities for robots operating in low-light environments, and helping improve detection performance in autonomous driving.

AMLOS Software Development Kit

AMLOS SDK (Activate My Line of Sight Software Development Kit) is a software development kit that componentize the core functions of Canon U.S.A., Inc.’s previously–developed remote conferencing solution AMLOS, which predecessor system enabled multiple viewpoints to be delivered to meeting participants using a single installed camera.

The AMLOS SDK provides modular components that can be used separately or together and includes software components for “server” functions for aggregating and distributing multiple video sources, “user interface” functions that enable multi-viewpoint selection and support custom screen layouts and application implementation, and “video processing” functions that generate multiple video streams from a single camera while also providing integrated control of multiple cameras. By offering these functions as separate modular components, the AMLOS SDK can help developers create flexible premium AV solutions and products tailored to diverse customer needs. Visitors to the Canon booth will experience the AMLOS SDK through live demonstrations of custom application scenarios so that visitors can understand how the AMLOS SDK can empower developers to build and differentiate their own unique solutions.

Crop Cultivation Monitoring System

Canon will also present Saku AssistTM, a cultivation monitoring system designed for large-scale indoor farming operations. Using Canon’s computer vision technology, the system analyzes images of plants captured by network cameras to help users detect potential issues and plant diseases, such as powdery mildew, at an early stage.

The solution is designed to support growers in maintaining crop quality even in large-scale indoor cultivation environments where labor efficiency and productivity are critical. At CES 2026, we will be demonstrating how our software platform could be used by growers to observe the anomalies detected by our AI.

Startup Initiatives (Listed below in alphabetical order)

AI Model: Leverages proprietary generative AI and advanced filming technology to create AI-generated virtual models for e-commerce, catalogs, and digital marketing use cases, enabling a high-quality and efficient creative workflow.

AR51: Develops AI-powered, markerless motion capture and live 3D streaming technology, delivering accurate, low-latency, real-time performance capture for sports, entertainment, and live events.

Aiarty Image Enhancer: A Closer Look

As AI-powered photo tools become more widespread, many creatives wonder: Can we enhance image quality without making images look over-processed or artificial?

Aiarty Image Enhancer is a desktop application that addresses this challenge, offering offline noise reduction, sharpening, and upscaling in a streamlined workflow. Rather than being a full photo editor, Aiarty focuses on targeted enhancements: import, select a model, adjust settings, preview, and export. For anyone working with images — photographers, designers, digital artists, or content creators — Aiarty provides a fast, privacy-focused, and intuitive solution.

1. What Problems Does Aiarty Solve?

Even images from high-quality cameras or digital sources can face common challenges:
  • Noise in low-light or high-ISO images
  • Slight softness from motion blur, low resolution, or missed focus
  • Loss of detail after heavy cropping or upscaling
  • Compression artifacts in scanned, web, or compressed images
  • Low-res AI-generated Images

Aiarty corrects these issues while maintaining natural texture and avoiding the artificial “AI-polished” look common with some enhancement tools.

Workflow steps:
  • Drag and drop your images

The students used Canon-provided Rebel SL2 cameras to create original images to complement their written work in the book. This year, 34 participants, encompassing 23 students and 11 teachers, contributed to the book, which, once finalized, was printed and bound by Suffolk Printing using Canon’s state-of-the-art production print technology.

“Canon is proud to continue supporting the Future Authors Project to help empower students to bring their stories to life through both words and images,” said Peter P. Kowalczuk, executive vice president and Client Services Group President, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “The creativity and authenticity displayed in this book exemplify the purpose of this program and the work we do to give young people the tools and inspiration to express themselves while learning the value of perseverance and collaboration. Congratulations to the students for their remarkable achievement, and we thank the teachers and faculty for their tremendous leadership.”

Dr. Daniel Salzman, Curriculum Associate for English Language Arts, Jericho School District, said, “This unique experience empowers our students, and I am grateful to the team at Canon U.S.A., Inc. for their continued partnership in making this program possible. The Future Authors Project encourages young writers to explore their creativity, develop their voice and engage with new technologies that bring their work to life. It’s inspiring to see the pride our students take in seeing their names in print, and we thank Canon for helping make that possible year after year.”

For the students, the program was not only about creative growth but also about building community and discovering shared meaning. The Future Authors program empowers the next generation of writers, thinkers and creators to share their voices with the world by merging the art of storytelling with the science of printing. Through this unique experience, participants have the distinction of becoming published authors.
