Eutecus, Inc was established in Austin, TX, in 2002 by Laszlo (Les) Belady, a veteran senior executive in Research and Development, experienced in bringing new products and technology to market. Les, who immigrated to the US in the 1950’s, held senior positions at IBM (Thomas Watson Research Center, Corporate HQ in Armonk and the Tokyo Research Laboratory), Mitsubishi Electric (Chairman and CEO American R and D and a Member of the Mitsubishi Electric America Board of Directors), the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC), and the Austin Software Council.

Eutecus quickly established an office in Berkeley, CA as a center for engineering development, applications, business development and sales, with the administrative headquarters remaining in Austin.

Since 2003, Eutecus has been awarded a number of Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grants for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA/JPL).

While the immediate projects are focused on terrain/object recognition and multi-target tracking and discrimination used in exploration/surveillance and weaponry, the underlying algorithm and software development is applicable to a wide range of industrial opportunities.

Commercialization of the technology has begun for machine vision in a number of areas where ultra high speed real time processing is a required technology component. These include real time quality inspection, intelligent security and surveillance applications, interactive gaming, and multiple military target acquisition, tracking and guidance scenarios.

Eutecus products include a family of high-speed cameras and VA modules (the award-winning Bi-i), enabling software libraries for rapid application prototyping (InstantVision ) and applications development / consulting.

The Cellular Visual Technology (CVT), developed by Eutecus, is based on cellular nonlinear network (CNN) type architectures that have been the main research subject of the founding scientists. The computational power that can be achieved using CVT is in the TeraOPS range (equivalent to 12th decimal order of digital operations per second) in vision processing applications. So far only supercomputers could compute at such high speeds.

CVT combines a universally applicable software platform – the Instant Vision ISE - with reconfigurable hardware: a sensor platform and a modular control platform that can be easily customized to meet the needs of different applications (Bi-i intelligent cameras).

Depending on the complexity of the applications, CVT-based devices can capture and evaluate up to ten thousand (10,000) images per second. The current state of the art, based on pure digital technology, similarly complex applications is limited to about a few hundred images per second. The computer vision industry has a number of products that can perform only some of the tasks that can be achieved by CVT. These products include standard video cameras coupled with desktop computers with current state-of-the art Pentium processors.

Eutecus develops and sell CVT-based hardware, software, or licenses for use of the technology; and can either supply or help develop the entire hw-sw environment of a specific high-speed application. Briefly, Eutecus can act as supplier, consultant, or custom developer of products that require the advantages of the programmable, real time, extremely high speed, bio-inspired vision processing systems in a number of applications areas.
