EDMONTON, Alberta, May 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Visionstate Corp. (TSXV: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”) released financial results for Q2 of its 2022 fiscal year. The SaaS revenue for the WANDATM IoT products increased from $20,000 (Q2 2021) to $87,740 (Q2 2022). Noteworthy in the same period last year, Visionstate received a $200,000 one-time payment to develop IoT for the cannabis sector.

Highlights of the Q2 financial results include:

  • A 100% increase in the subscriber base for WANDATM, year-over-year, with the bulk of the new activations in the past six months and continuing to gain even more traction as new customers are activated.
  • Visionstate revenue model is based on a software as a service (SaaS), with licence fees charged monthly ranging from $15 to $25 per activation of the WANDATM mobile app. The Company’s main focus continues to be customer acquisition.
  • The Company licences its technology to large companies and public institutions resulting in customization and longer deployment cycles, yet favourable to long-term growth.
  • Increased expenses related to the Company’s investment into ViCCi 2.0, an artificial intelligence technology designed to automate customer service in physical locations. Revenues related to ViCCi 2.0 are anticipated in Q4.

oToBrite Develops a Compact All-Weather Vision-AI Driver Monitoring System for the Commercial Vehicle Market

Published

on

otobrite-develops-a-compact-all-weather-vision-ai-driver-monitoring-system-for-the-commercial-vehicle-market

HSINCHU, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — oToBrite, a leading provider of vision-AI ADAS solutions, has successfully developed a compact all-weather vision-AI Driver Monitoring System (DMS). With a high-sensitivity automotive-grade global shutter image sensor, the system achieves outstanding Quantum Efficiency (QE), providing clear image quality day and night. With oToBrite’s proprietary secondary optical system, the overall combination effectively enhances the accuracy and reliability of the vision-AI algorithm in all weather conditions. The DMS has already been successfully delivered to heavy commercial vehicle manufacturers, mitigating the potential risks of traffic accidents.

oToBrite’s vision-AI DMS utilizes self-developed AI 3D facial landmark technology to identify over 100 driver IDs and recognize driving behaviors, including smoking, phone use, distraction, fatigue. The system remains effective even when drivers wear Level 3 sunglasses or coated glasses, without compromising the detection and recognition capabilities of vision-AI.
The vision-AI DMS features a 940nm infrared and high-QE sensor, coupled with oToBrite’s proprietary optical design, ensuring clear images in strong light conditions (>120K lux) or during nighttime driving. Additionally, oToBrite’s vision-AI technology optimizes facial image quality, ensuring accurate AI recognition whether driving against sunlight, backlight, or through tunnels.
Miniaturization is a significant trend in driver monitoring applications. oToBrite further emphasizes that, compared to many systems on the market requiring multiple LEDs for sufficient illumination, the DMS only needs one LED to meet the system’s image quality requirements. In terms of hardware technology, oToBrite’s secondary optical system adjusts the LED light source to any angle to meet light distribution needs. Concentrating the light source can double the illumination, producing more reliable images for AI recognition. This also reduces optical component usage, enhances image clarity, and saves installation space and system costs.
According to the 2023 market research report by Gii, the DMS market reached $1.3 billion in 2022, with an expected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.3% by 2028, reaching $20.8 billion. Currently, several countries are drafting or have implemented regulations, and driven by regulatory demand, oToBrite’s compact all-weather vision-AI DMS has begun mass production, contributing to achieving Vision Zero.
