Deepnet laptops, desktops, servers and cloud + consulting services

Generalized robotic manipulation.

Robotics in parcel sorting. Very pragmatic team of industry veterans

Awesome 3D person, pet, object capture and rigging.

This is the for-profit branch of OpenCV. We do expert contracting in AI, Deep Learning, Computer Vision including training, tuning, courseware and optimization to hardware and different sensor types. We also do product partnering and run an AI Marketplace.

Face tracking and real time VFX overlay

Occipital is a great mobile vision application company that's doing things the others are not. It developed the best iPhone barcode reader: Red Laser.

Logistics

Farm-ng makes mobile autonomous outdoor robots

Reinforcement learning robotics

SLAM applied to indoor/home applications

Gauss Surgical makes computer vision-based medical products that enhance surgical outcomes while decreasing costs.

**SOLD to Matterport**

Vision and Deep Learning platform in ... you'll see, but very fun, cool stuff.

Join us, promise you a good time! This is the real deal -- a Silicon Valley startup founded over whiskey in a garage at 3am in the morning. We're focused on doing cool things; we've been around long enough to avoid stodgy.

**SOLD to INTEL**

3D room capture.

Sourcing and analyzing deals while working up what's next.

Founded the Silicon Valley office of Magic Leap. Founded/lead Computer Vision and Deep Learning teams. Kickstarted data collection, calibration and embedded teams.

Open Source Computer Vision Library -- I founded it, manage its direction and wrote a book about it for O'Reilly Press: http://www.amazon.com/Learning-OpenCV-Computer-Vision-Library/dp/0596516134

**SOLD to GOOGLE**

Industrial Perception was the first to apply sensor guided robot manipulation in logistics. Industrial Perception is continuing on inside Google X as Project Move.

**SOLD to INTEL**

Helped them get started and get contracts over time. Absolutely great computer vision contract firm. Intel bought them late 2016

Helped do the vision system on Stanley, the robot that won the Darpa Grand Challenge $2M race across the desert lead by Prof. Sebastian Thrun. Now working on STAIR -- the robot butler lead by Andrew Ng.

Willow Garage is a cross between a Robotics Research Institute and a Robotics Startup/Incubator. I am heading up the machine learning and perception software efforts there. http://www.willowgarage.com

**SOLD TO MICROSOFT**

Coded algorithms and helped form strategy in computer vision for this video search startup. This startup sold in 2011 to Microsoft.

First video search startup. Founding shares.

Had a lot of fun working in Intel research, got tired of it finally. Was a good ride while it lasted, especially the .boom years.

Founded OpenCV -- computer vision library. Got Intel involved with the robot race by funding and working with the Stanford (winning) team.

Created OpenCV, the Open Source Computer Vision Library now the dominant computer vision library around the world; Managed a computer vision group in the research labs; ran a machine learning in manufacturing group in Intel Research which created their decision tree analysis package and an test reduction system using predictive statistics; Worked on, led the vision group and got Intel involved in supporting Stanley, the robot the won the $2M DARPA Grand Challenge Race Across the Desert.

Was a quant on a derivative securities trading floor aka interest rate options. Hated the job, hated the city, paid well though.

A fun consulting stint mostly to medical electronics makers (computerized EEG).

Helped found Neurosoft -- working as a consultant FUN

Worked on manufacturing visual inspection equipment, sub-contract to IBM.

**SOLD 1987**

First computerized EEG company. Helped do the software and hardware.

Design proximity access security systems. You carry a card that can be read at a distance to access doors etc. Also controlled other events, monitored fire etc. First real job, kind of fun designing hardware, kind of boring too.
