Computer vision prototyping
Fast proofs of concept that answer "can a camera do this?" with real data from the field, not slideware.
Services
Applied AI and model evaluation
Vision-language models, detection and counting pipelines, and evaluation sets that make accuracy measurable.
Imaging systems and hardware
Sensor, optics and illumination selection, capture pipelines, and the mobile and embedded code that ties them together.
Technical advisory
Scoping, build-versus-buy decisions, and roadmaps for teams adding computer vision to an existing product.
Principal
