Prophesee
Prophesee is a pioneering company in neuromorphic vision systems, developing patented event-based vision sensors and AI algorithms inspired by human vision. Their Metavision® technology captures dynamic scene information with ultra-high speed (>10,000 fps equivalent), wide dynamic range (>120 dB), and extreme power efficiency (<10 mW), enabling machines to see and react faster, smarter, and safer. Prophesee's products serve markets including autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, IoT, mobile devices, AR/VR, and defense. The company is headquartered in Paris with offices in China, Japan, and the USA, supported by a team of over 130 engineers and researchers. It holds over 95 patents and has strong traction with a community of 20,000+ members and partnerships with industry leaders like Tobii, IDS, and Eoptic. Prophesee's business model includes product sales of sensors, software, evaluation kits, and camera modules, alongside support and custom IP services, positioning it as a leader in next-generation computer vision technology.
