Computer vision is an interdisciplinary field that deals with how computers can be made for gaining high-level understanding from digital images or videos. From the perspective of engineering, it seeks to automate tasks that the human visual system can do. Country: China Funding: $1.6B SenseTime develops face recognition technology that can be applied to payment and picture analysis, which could be used, for instance, on bank card verification and security systems. Country: China Funding: $607M Megvii develops Face Cognitive Services - a platform offering computer vision technologies that enable your applications to read and understand the world better. Face allows you to easily add leading, deep learning-based image analysis recognition technologies into your applications, with simple and powerful APIs and SDKs.

AI can be used to automate software coding and testing. By emulating the human eye and brain, our AI-powered image comparison technology only reports differences that are perceptible to users and reliably ignore invisible rendering, size and position differences. Our algorithms can instantly validate entire application pages, detect layout issues, and process the most complex and dynamic pages. No calibration, training, tweaking or thresholding required on your part. Country: USA Funding: $29.5M Engineer.ai is a human-assisted AI that empowers everyone to independently build and operate tech products through two products that work together to be their virtual engineering team.
