What they do
They are building a scalable software platform to make vehicles, cameras, and machines smarter, safer, and more cost-effective. An efficient network architecture design allows for efficiency and accuracy to be maintained even in low-powered environments. The growing team consists of experts and specialists in computer vision and deep learning.
Product & technology
Efficient edge computing for resource-constrained environments is enabled by network pruning and intelligent multitasking with AI-enabled 3D sensing and perception software solutions. Proprietary optimization techniques are employed, including a self-supervised approach to depth optimization. Benchmarking shows a 3.5x higher frame rate with a 4.7x power reduction, giving approximately a 15x improvement in performance per joule. This work owns the existing IP and derivative IP from work with customers.
