Cellular Visual Microprocessor (CVM) technology efficiently improves array visual sensing and processing by integrating image acquisition, storage and computing in a single device. The Company uses CVM technology to build the next generation C-TON chips (read more in White Papers ).

What are the main components of CVM technology?

CVM technology builds on a cellular architecture where the processing nodes are also storing and sensing elements ensuring that image acquisition is inherently integrated with parallel feature extraction capability at extremely high speeds.

Why is CVM technology different than competing solutions?

Integrating array sensing and processing within CVMs removes a major bottleneck of all current intelligent vision systems that originates from the lack of local adaptation at the sensor level and efficient parallel feature extraction capability in the first stage of processing.

What is the advantage of using CVMs (or CVM technology) in machine vision products?

Using CVMs significantly expands the processing capabilities in all areas of the speed-complexity visual application space. Specific application domains can be targeted with no extra costs.

Which are the next steps in R&D in order to improve CVM technology?

The next generation CVMs (C-TON) will include pixel level sensor adaptation capability combined with a high dynamic range. CVMs will also be integrated with nano-antennas expanding the sensing range to mid- and long-wave IR domains.
