Facet Technology Corporation, founded in 1998, is a Minnesota based software and services company. Facet’s groundbreaking technology has turned into breakaway commercial success in the Transportation, Mapping and Food Processing Industries. The company's approach to the general-purpose identification and inspection markets has resulted in the creation of numerous patents that leverage the company's years of experience in engineering, computer science, color imaging and object identification fields.

CONTROLLING THE UNCONTROLLABLE

The multi-billion dollar computer vision industry has historically focused on the development and the marketing of computer vision tools that were used for inspection or identification of man-made objects in controlled (non-harsh) environments. Computers can easily be trained to inspect man-made objects in these controlled settings. Factors like lighting and placement of objects can be precisely controlled, thus reducing the burden on the vision system. Many environments, however, don't allow full control over all the parameters that make standard computer vision tools easy to use. By changing one of the parameters - either moving the man-made object into an uncontrolled environment (outdoors) or by changing the man-made object into a natural object (grain, fruit, meat, poultry, etc.) - the identification and inspection task becomes several times more difficult. This is where Facet's patented technology shines and allows computer vision tools to now be used successfully. Facet allows you to control the uncontrollable.

ADVANCING THE ART

Facet’s success in the development of object recognition tools for harsh environmental conditions has led to the utilization of technology in several under-served markets. The technology makes it possible to recognize man-made objects in outdoor environments and natural objects (grain, fruit, meat, poultry, etc.) in controlled (factory) settings. This patented new way of recognizing objects has advance the art of computer vision.

EXPANDING THE UNIVERSE FOR COMPUTER VISION and OBJECT SEARCH TOOLS

The company's growing patent portfolio is allowing it to expand its client base by advancing how and where computer vision and general-purpose object searches are used. For more information, about Facet or its products and technology, contact us at:
