4243 Intel is gearing up to deliver autonomous driving, with the acquisition of Itseez, a specialist in computer vision (CV) algorithms and implementations for embedded and specialised hardware. Itseez provides software tuning and integration in many market-leading products shipping today from cars to security systems and more.

According to Intel, the acquisition furthers its efforts to win in internet of things (IoT) market segments like automotive and video, where the ability to electronically perceive and understand images paves the way for innovation and opportunity.

Itseez will become a key component for Intel’s Internet of Things Group (IOTG) roadmap, and will help Intel’s customers create innovative deep-learning-based CV applications like autonomous driving, digital security and surveillance and industrial inspection. Itseez is also a key contributor to computer vision standards initiatives including OpenCV and OpenVX.
