From the primitive scratchings of ancient cave dwellers, to the super-high-resolution images of far-off galaxies captured by modern telescopes, human beings have always been obsessed with pictures. The history of photography is the progression of society's ability to freeze an image in time, using technology to gradually improve its quality. The word photography is based on the Greek "photos" and "graphe" which together means "drawing with light". While decent-quality photos today are instantly available with the touch of a button on any smart phone, early photography was a laborious process that often delivered poor results. Picture-making dates back to antiquity with the discovery of two principles – camera obscura image projection, and the observation that certain substances can be altered by exposure to light. Camera obscura, the phenomenon that occurs when an image is projected through a small hole onto an opposite surface, was found in the writings of Aristotle and Chinese scholars, dating back to the 4th century BC.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – NexOptic Technology Corp. ("NexOptic" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: NXO) (OTCQB: NXOPF) (FSE: E3O1), an optics and Artificial Intelligence ("AI") innovator, announced that it has created revolutionary AI that transforms Image Signal Processors ("ISP") technology. Engineered into NexOptic's All Light Intelligent Imaging Solutions ("ALIIS "), the neural ISP technology is immediately available to OEM customers through Nexoptic's alliances with leading semiconductor companies. Image signal processors are a traditional technology that manipulate images from raw data into the precise and coherent imagery we are accustomed to seeing. They are increasingly also being used for new application paths in robotics, smart cities, industrial automation, automotive, healthcare and beyond. NexOptic's game-changing neural ISP seamlessly delivers this technology into the world of AI for the first time.

NexOptic's ALIIS solution powered by NVIDIA (Nasdaq:NVDA, $250 billion market cap) Jetson Edge AI platform to unlock new application paths in robotics, smart cities, industrial automation, and healthcare NexOptic Technology Corp. (OTCQB:NXOPF, TSXV:NXO) is led by a blue chip team, including turnaround specialist and former CEO of Lexmark International, Rich Geruson. Their remarkable A.I. imaging technology has been noticed by numerous multinationals. NexOptic's collaborations with Qualcomm (Nasdaq:QCOM, $103 billion) and now Ndiva's "Preferred Partner" network puts them into an elite group of AI firms gaining integrated access to an A-list customer base. NexOptic further announced on July 20th the introduction of a revolutionary AI for neural image signal processors (ISP's) – a fusion of leading edge and traditional imaging technologies, further expanding their defensive intellectual property portfolio strategy. NextGen machines, cars, cities and platforms need to "see" efficiently and process instantly.

NexOptic Technology Corp., reports that it has made significant advancements to its cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) imaging solution. NexOptic's Advanced Low Light Imaging Solution (ALLIS) provides immediate solutions to problems that have plagued the imaging industry for decades. NexOptic's engineered AI drastically reduces image noise common to all imaging systems while improving performance in low light conditions. This is accomplished with NexOptic's expanding suite of patent-pending, deep learning algorithms. Some of the key benefits of ALLIS include: improved low-light performance; dramatic reduction in image noise; improved downstream applications (computational imaging, facial recognition); enhanced long-range image stabilization; major reduction in file sizes.

Shutter speed, or exposure time, refers to the time that a sensor is exposed to light. Longer shutter speeds typically increase the amount of light gathered, causing blur from any movement (camera or object). Motion blur is most noticeable when a camera shakes, or when a camera tries to capture a fast moving object. NexOptic's AI technology enables faster shutter speeds (reduced exposure times), reducing motion blur and improving image stabilization. Image stabilization is critical for long range imaging, including NexOptic's current product line (sport optics and mobile) as well as in moving and vibrating imaging systems (e.g.
