Area4 Professional Design Services is a Silicon Valley-based firm that offers end-to-end solutions for modern imaging and vision systems. To create the best possible image, a “system approach” from the camera lens to viewing screen requires expertise in several technical disciplines. The Area4 team are experts in their respective fields with proven track records spanning from research and low-volume professional systems to cutting-edge, high-volume consumer systems. Area4 services include imaging and vision system architecture and support for optics, camera sensors, SoC FPGA implementation, imaging processing software, codecs, storage, transport, mechanical and thermal design, and image system tuning and testing (optimization). A less than an optimized imaging and vision system delivers less than optimal results.
