About Prophesee
Prophesee commercializes neuromorphic vision technology derived from event-based sensing research. Instead of outputting conventional full frames at fixed intervals, its sensors report local brightness changes with timestamps, reducing redundant data and supporting fast motion, high dynamic range and low-power operation.
The company works with sensor and camera partners including Sony and IDS and provides evaluation kits, modules and the Metavision software stack. Current industrial uses include high-speed inspection, tracking, machine monitoring and robotic perception.
