Stand A33

Recognix Technologies Ltd announces the launch of its Wide Angle View System (WAVS) at the ITS World Congress and Exhibition, 9 – 12 October, at Excel, London. The WAVS offers passenger's cars drivers or heavy machinery operators unprecedented 180-degree undistorted, panoramic, live images of dead zones.

An Advanced Driver Awareness Solutions platform, WAVS is based on its Real Time Video Image Processing (RTVIP) technology, which is the result of two years of development and utilises surveillance and military imaging solutions.

In its most common application, the WAVS performs as a powerful all-weather parking assist solution, where obstacles normally undetected by other reversing aids (such as ultra sonic or radar) become visible.

Not only the wide range of detectable obstacles makes this solution unique but also the absolute 180-degree viewing field, which, thanks to the proprietary Real Time Image Restoration technology, appears as a flat image on drop-down, built-in or other in-cabin display monitor.

Recognix Technologies Ltd’s long-term strategy is based on its capability to add additional features to its RTVIP, e.g., image stabilisation, and stitching as well as motion detection and tracking. The implementation of these capabilities will result in a single, reliable and cost-effective Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) platform supporting safety features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Occupants' Monitoring, dead spot monitoring and panoramic awareness, all stabilised on the driver's monitor in real time, supporting all terrain driving.

"We strongly believe that our video image processing technology, proven in the most robust operational conditions, can support the European initiative to dramatically reduce road accidents by providing a long term, integrative and cost effective ADAS platform," says Kobi Jacob, Managing Director.

In 2004, Recognix partnered with UK-based Magal Engineering Ltd, a first tier provider to the automotive industry, which will drive its sales and marketing operation to promote Recognix’s advanced systems into automotive applications such as motor-homes, high end and commercial vehicles.

A leading developer of image processing technologies and products, Recognix was founded in 2003 following seven years of research in the field of Optic Physics, where its research team has developed a unique approach to Image processing which resulted in innovative algorithms. Recognix’s headquarters and R&D unit are located in the city of Lod, near Israel’s international airport. The company also has a marketing division in the UK.

Recognix is now in the process of commercialising its core technology, focusing on the automotive advanced real time video capabilities.
