According to the news of the investment community on December 4, according to hard krypton, the bionic eye sensor vision solution provider Dynamic Vision (Beijing) Technology *** hereinafter referred to as Dynamic Microvision) was obtainedTens of millions of RMB angel round financing, this round of financing by:Chentao Capital and Yicun Songling Bayes co-led the investment。Previously, Dynamic Microvision has received a seed round of financing of millions of yuan from MiraclePlus.
Founded in May 2023, the founding members of the team are all from the Institute of Neuroinformatics of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, Switzerland, with doctoral degrees from the team. ETH enjoys a world-class reputation in the field of dynamic cameras and brain-like computing, and the bionic eye-like sensor used by Dynamic Vision was invented by the founder Liu Min's doctoral supervisor, Professor Tobi Delbruck of ETH, and the DVS128 invented by Tobi is the world's first commercially available biomimetic eye-like sensor.
EPP smart camera is the world's first intelligent hardware product specially designed for bionic eye sensors developed by Dynamic Microvision, in which the algorithm adopts the event stream processing method developed by the team to support scenes with strong light, dark light, and drastic changes in illumination, and can provide customized solutions such as high-speed visual inspection and OCR recognition according to resolution, interface, field of view, weight, size, power consumption and other indicators.
It is reported that the team is actively carrying out the research and development of the second-generation smart camera. Compared to the first generation, the EPP II smart camera will use a new triggering method to obtain higher resolution images with lower latency. The funds from this round of financing will be used for product research and development and technology optimization.
Xiao Yiting, partner of Chentao Capital, said:Traditional cameras, which are widely used in autonomous driving, humanoid robots, industrial vision, and smart cities, are limited by their imaging principles and perform poorly when dealing with high-speed moving objects and high dynamic range scenes. Combined with the long-term accumulation of bionic vision sensors and their teams in the field of algorithms, Dynamic Microvision has developed a smart camera product integrating software and hardware through revolutionary design in principle at the hardware level and integrating its own unique visual information flow processing algorithm at the software level, with faster speed, lower energy consumption and higher information rate. We believe that the smart camera products of Dynamic Micro Vision will lead the future development direction of vision sensors and reshape the software and hardware ecology of the entire industry.
Zhang Chen, general manager of Songling Investment in Yicun, said:Songling continues to lay out its own AI ecology, and now it has moved from the "perception cycle" to the "model decision-making cycle". The operator library built by Dr. Min Liu's team is essentially a basic general operator set for building event cameras. The software and hardware optimization of each single operator in the operator library ensures low latency and low power consumption. We believe that dynamic vision has the potential to be the core upstream player of bionic sensing to improve the level of visual intelligence related to industry and consumption, so as to promote visual rigid needs such as detection, XR, and autonomous driving to a higher level.
