01
Vision Chips
Custom mixed-signal vision silicon with sensing architectures tailored to specialized machine-vision requirements.
Advanced Vision Technology
From Silicon
to Systems
Centeye develops custom vision silicon, low-SWaP sensor assemblies, embedded vision systems, and supporting technology for integration into next-generation products and platforms.
What Centeye Provides
Vision technology designed around the application.
02
Vision Sensors
Compact sensor assemblies integrating Centeye silicon with optics, electronics, and embedded processing.
03
Embedded Vision Systems
Application-specific sensing systems developed for integration into customer products, equipment, and platforms.
04
Supporting Technology
Firmware, computer vision, signal processing, and integration support developed around the sensing hardware.
A Different Design Approach
Designed as a system, not a stack of components.
Centeye works across the sensing stack, allowing silicon, optics, electronics, embedded processing, and supporting software to be co-designed around the application. This enables combinations of size, weight, power, and performance that are difficult to achieve using conventional camera and processing architectures.

Applications
Specialized sensing for demanding applications.
Robotics & Autonomous Systems
Compact vision sensing and embedded perception for mobile robots and other resource-constrained systems.
UAS & Aerial Systems
Low-SWaP sensing for obstacle detection, navigation support, tracking, localization, and related aerial applications.
Machine & Industrial Vision
Application-specific sensing for high-speed, size-constrained, low-power, or otherwise unusual machine-vision requirements.
Embedded & Wearable Vision
Miniature vision technology for products and systems where conventional camera form factors are impractical.
Tracking & Localization
Specialized sensing for moving-object detection, high-speed tracking, optical localization, and position measurement.
Distributed & Unattended Sensing
Low-power embedded vision for monitoring, physical analytics, remote sensing, and distributed sensor networks.
Technology in Action
Proven under demanding constraints.
Vision Under Extreme SWaP Constraints
Centeye sensing and embedded processing technology enabled fully onboard perception and reactive obstacle avoidance on a highly constrained nano-UAS platform.
Adaptive High-Speed Vision
Flexible focal-plane sampling enables high-rate tracking and selective acquisition without continuously processing a full high-resolution image.
High Dynamic Range Sensing
Centeye vision sensors can preserve useful scene information across extreme illumination differences, including bright sunlight and deep shadow within the same field of view.
