AnaLogic
Computers Kft. was founded in 2000 by an international team of world-acclaimed
scientists from research institutions in Hungary (Computer and Automation
Research Institute, Hungarian Academy of Sciences – MTA SZTAKI), Spain
(Instituto de Microelectronica de Sevilla - CNM/CSIC) and the United States of
America (The University of California at Berkeley - UCB).
The mission of the founders was to
introduce and commercialize programmable, real-time, extremely high-speed,
bio-inspired visual computing technology based on Cellular Neural/nonlinear
Networks (CNN). The resulting system is significantly more effective and
efficient for applications such as machine vision, security, robotics and
exploration than the current state of the art. In general, it is particularly
suited to detecting departures from the expected.
In Hungary, AnaLogic’s activities are
supported by commercial contracts, and grants from the Hungarian Government as
well as the European Union.
In 2003 AnaLogic joined forces
with Eutecus, Inc., of Berkeley, CA, which in part had been founded
to initiate a market and development presence of AnaLogic’s technology in
North
America
and Asia.
The Cellular
Visual TechnologyTM (CVT)
developed by AnaLogic/Eutecus, is based on cellular nonlinear network (CNN) type
architectures that have been the main research subject of the founding
scientists. Mimicking the operation of the human eye, CVT yields improvements
orders of magnitude beyond the current state of the art in applications
primarily in the areas of Security, Surveillance and Reconnaissance.
Commercialization of the technology has begun focusing on security and
surveillance applications.
CVT-based products of AnaLogic
include the InstantVisionTM, cross-platform software
environment, which enables developers to quickly prototype and test video
analytics algorithms and processors, as well as its IP cores -- C-MVATM -- for FPGAs and ASICs.
AnaLogic also
provides customization services and fully-functional evaluation versions of a
reference hardware design (the award-winning Bi-i
TM family) and the associated
complete software environment (InstantVisionTM ISE),
allowing "hands-on" understanding of the advantages of CVT.
