Prophesee and Eoptic, Inc. Forge Strategic Partnership to Evolve Multimodal, High-Speed Imaging Systems
PARIS, Jan 27, 2025
Prophesee, the global pioneer in neuromorphic vision systems, and Eoptic, Inc., a leader in advanced imaging and optics systems integration, today announced a strategic collaboration to integrate high-speed event detection into Eoptic’s innovative and flexible prismatic sensor module. By combining Eoptic’s Cambrian Edge imaging platform with Prophesee’s cutting-edge, event-based Metavision® sensors, the partnership aims to tackle real-time imaging challenges and open new frontiers in dynamic visual processing.
This innovative collaboration will focus on delivering solutions that offer low-latency processing, high-speed object tracking, and energy-efficient visual analytics. The joint effort is set to impact critical industries, including defense, industrial automation, robotics, and autonomous systems.
Prophesee’s Role in Eoptic’s Cambrian M-Series: Redefining Multi-Modal Imaging
At the heart of this partnership lies Eoptic’s Cambrian M-Series, the next evolution in compact multi-modal imaging systems. Behind a single aperture, the system employs a custom trichroic prism assembly to separate incoming light into three individual channels. With unparalleled flexibility, the platform supports global, per-channel, prism-surface coating, and at-sensor patterned optical filtering options, enabling a wide range of imaging modalities.
The Cambrian M-Series optical design incorporates advanced compensation to correct spherical and chromatic aberrations, ensuring consistent magnification across its wavelength range of 400-2000nm. Each detector is aligned with sub-pixel precision, setting a new benchmark for accuracy and versatility in multi-modal imaging. This revolutionary system is engineered to meet the demands of cutting-edge applications requiring precise, dynamic visual processing.
Prophesee’s event-based Metavision sensors, integrated into the Cambrian M-Series, revolutionize imaging with low-latency performance and microsecond-precision object tracking. By capturing only scene changes at the pixel level, they drastically enhance energy efficiency, handle challenging lighting with exceptional dynamic range, and reduce data output for real-time analytics.
When combined with the Cambrian Edge platform’s ability to train and deploy AI models efficiently, these technologies unlock powerful new tools for real-time decision-making, situational awareness, and predictive analytics in mission-critical environments.
Pano Spiliotis, CEO of Eoptic, Inc., commented:
“We are thrilled to partner with Prophesee to drive innovation in event-based sensing. By combining Prophesee’s groundbreaking event-driven sensors with our Cambrian M-Series platform, we are addressing critical challenges in dynamic visual processing. The event detector, paired with other imaging modalities such as VIS-SWIR, multispectral, polarimetric, HDR, and custom configurations, enables us to see beyond standard color vision and capture phenomena that were previously invisible. This expanded capability not only enhances imaging performance but also supports more advanced training and deployment of AI models. Together, we are delivering smarter, faster, and more adaptive imaging systems that redefine precision and capability across defense, industrial automation, robotics, and beyond.”
Prophesee’s CEO, Luca Verre, added:
“Eoptic’s expertise in integrating advanced optical systems complements our vision technology perfectly. Together, we are poised to redefine the standards for parallel, multimodal, image processing –combining VIS, SWIR, NIR, and UV with EVENT sensor options – and unlock new possibilities for intelligent imaging solutions.”
The partnership reflects both companies’ commitment to leading-edge advancements in imaging and neuromorphic engineering, setting the stage for transformative applications across a wide range of industries.
