Saikou Optics is building the Visioning Layer of the AI Technology Stack. Intelligent systems – AI, machine vision, computer vision, robotics, and human controlled systems need better vision systems to fulfill their potential. Whether driving through a busy intersection, identifying cancer cells, or recognizing individuals in a crowd, there is a growing performance gap between what Intelligent Systems can process and what current optical technologies can provide. Lens systems are the lagging weak link in the image and data acquisition technology chain, and are holding back advances in Intelligent Systems. Saikou Optics is closing the performance gap between Intelligent Systems and optical technologies, with optical systems that integrate in a closed-loop platform and interact intelligently in real time with any operator, whether human or computer and acquire more information from environments at higher speeds. Our approach enables faster and more sensitive acquisition of 3D data; accelerates Real World Data Mining and Deep Learning and makes AI applications more powerful and accessible.
