Barcelona, June 2025 — Qurv, a pioneer in quantum dot-based image sensing technologies and products, is proud to announce a strategic collaboration with the Computer Vision Center (CVC), one of Europe’s leading applied research institutions in computer vision. The partnership combines qurv’s industry-leading wide-spectrum image sensor technology, QSTACK®, with CVC’s deep expertise in advanced vision algorithms—pushing the boundaries of what machines can perceive and interpret.
This collaboration is already powering a series of cutting-edge initiatives that address critical perception challenges across weather, lighting, and mobility conditions:
- SWIRFIRE: This project focuses on detecting hotspots—such as fires—under low visibility conditions, including fog, smoke, and low light. Qurv’s sensors enable early detection where standard vision systems are effectively blind.
- SKYFUSION: Leveraging SWIR sensing for robust optical flow measurements, this project aims to deliver enhanced motion tracking and velocity mapping for drones and autonomous platforms, especially in scenes with variable lighting or low contrast.
- ECOSWIR: By combining qurv’s ultra-fast gated SWIR imaging with CVC’s novel algorithms, ECOSWIR is paving the way for accurate 3D perception in environments where traditional approaches underperform.
“This partnership with CVC brings together two highly complementary forces—material and device-level innovation on one side and sophisticated perception algorithms on the other,” said Antonios Oikonomou, CEO of qurv. “Together, we are transforming vision from a constraint into a competitive edge for intelligent systems.”
The collaboration also reinforces Catalonia’s position as a growing deep-tech and AI hub, aligning with European efforts to strengthen technological sovereignty and industrial capability in critical technologies such as advanced materials, semiconductors and intelligent sensing.
As qurv continues its mission to unlock superhuman vision for machines, partnerships with institutions like CVC will represent a key step in bridging scientific discoveries and real-world deployment across mobility, defence, industrial automation, and more.
