Photon Logic offers a complete solution for vision systems, designed across multiple layers to deliver high-performance, real-time processing and flexibility for a wide range of industries and applications.

• Hardware: Our hardware development capabilities include schematic design, PCB development, and prototyping, using industry-standard tools like KiCad and Altium Designer to deliver reliable, efficient hardware solutions.

• Sensing: Our expertise spans a wide range of image and robotic sensors, including regular cameras, stereo vision cameras, Time-of-Flight (ToF) cameras, LIDAR, and IMU/AHRS. These sensors enable precise data acquisition in applications such as robotics, industrial automation, and medical systems. We integrate image sensors using high-speed protocols like MIPI CSI-2, SubLVDS, and SLVS-EC, enabling seamless, high-bandwidth data transfer from sensors to processing units. This ensures efficient image acquisition and processing, even in high-resolution or multi-sensor setups, critical for real-time vision applications.

• Acquisition and Processing: At the heart of our systems are Lattice Semiconductors' low-power FPGAs, which allow us to optimize performance while maintaining energy efficiency. We use FPGAs for real-time image acquisition, camera image processing (ISP), and offloading vision algorithms and feature extraction tasks. In robotics, our FPGA solutions enable precise synchronization of heterogeneous sensors and sensor fusion, ensuring accurate real-time processing.

• Communication: Photon Logic integrates a wide range of communication interfaces based on the specific requirements of each application. From USB 3.0 for medical and consumer devices, SDI for broadcast, GMSL for robotics and automotive, to Ethernet for industrial applications, we ensure reliable, high-speed data transmission across diverse systems.

• Computation: We employ a hybrid approach to computer vision, choosing the best tool for the job based on what will yield the best results. Our solutions combine classical computer vision methods with advanced AI/ML techniques, running on both PC software and Nvidia Jetson platforms. We leverage C++, CUDA, Python, and libraries like OpenCV, TensorRT, as well as accelerated Python (Numpy and Numba) to ensure high-performance vision processing for real-time applications.

• Application: Our deep expertise in stereo vision systems and algorithms for depth estimation and 3D visual perception underpins our solutions for robotics, industrial automation, and more. Whether deploying classical computer vision techniques or advanced AI, our hybrid approach ensures we deliver the most effective solution for each application.

Our Vision for the Future:
We believe the industry will converge on Ethernet as the standard interface for moving data into AI processing machines, both in the Cloud and at the Edge. Photon Logic is committed to helping build this future by developing cutting-edge technologies that drive this evolution, ensuring efficient, scalable data transfer for next-generation vision systems.
