About V7
Our Mission
To enable any business, large and small, to leverage the sense of sight and automate any visual task.
To achieve this, we must allow vision AI to be reliable, versatile, and easy to use. In doing so, we are ushering a new era of "living software" of models running on continuously evolving training data.
The world relies on visual decision making. In medicine, engineering, or food production, we continuously see and decide upon what is seen. In a world where technology works for us, technology needs to see.
We are working towards making deep learning more robust and easier to develop, so that any business can implement state of the art AI from a single platform. If we had to make a promise, it would be that adding V7 to your tech stack brings the equivalent advantage of a software development team of 10.
99% of the impact that vision AI can have on the world is unclaimed: from precision agriculture, to intelligent microscopy, to early detection of cancer. If we make AI accessible to those who work within these fields, down to single individuals, we can truly change the fabric of our society for the better.
The name
There are 6 generally recognized areas of the human visual cortex, V1 through V6. The primary visual cortex V1 enables our brain to recognize essential shapes, while the following ones extract complex meanings in color, form, and motion. We want to create a seventh area for machines, enabling them to perceive the world beyond what our brains enable us today.
540 million years ago, the Cambrian explosion gave life on earth the sense of sight, creating the fastest acceleration in species and skill diversity. We want V7 to bring forth a similar revolution - granting all automata with sight, and enabling it to multiply the tasks they can perform.
