Monitoring traffic in densely populated areas stands to benefit from technology that provides high-quality imagery in real time.
Eutecus, Inc. (Berkeley, CA), has leveraged knowhow developed during MDA-funded work to offer just that. The company's MDA experience helped it build upon a Multi-core Video-analytics Engine (MVE™) and system-on-chip imaging technologies to develop and market a full-high-definition (1080 pixels, 30 frames per second), multichannel, video-streaming camera. The technology operates using partner company Altera Corporation's Cyclone® IV field-programmable gate arrays, which can be fitted into high-def Internet-protocol cameras.
Eutecus, which began rolling out its upgraded camera line in 2012, has focused its sales efforts initially on local and state highway departments that need improved traffic monitoring.
MDA originally funded Eutecus through a 2004 SBIR Phase II contract to develop image-processing algorithms. Since then, the company has continuously worked to upgrade and enhance its technology for use in high-end imaging, with special attention to the needs of law enforcement.
Eutecus develops imaging tools for use in high-end surveillance cameras used by law enforcement and highway departments. The company's focus has fallen on products that allow users to obtain high-quality, high-resolution imagery in real time.
