MotionDSP
Specializes in video image processing
Makes software that dramatically improves video from a wide range of sources -- from mobile phones to UAVs. MotionDSP's patented, multi-frame video enhancement technology is available in two Windows-based products: Ikena, a state-of-the-art solution for video forensics, and vReveal, a video enhancement application for consumers.
MotionDSP's software is uniquely able to remove noise, increase resolution, and stabilize video. It runs on any off-the-shelf Windows PC, and has been programmed to use the tremendous processing power available in multi-core CPUs and modern graphics processors (GPUs).
- Ikena Standard is a Windows-based application for video forensics and enhancement. It automates the entire process of video enhancement and is able to produce results in one step where competitive products require several complicated procedures. It runs on any laptop or desktop, and requires minimal training to use. It is able to enhance traditional surveillance video footage as well as video from modern sources such as mobile phones and YouTube.
- Ikena Live is a powerful, real-time version of Ikena Standard that uses multi-core CPUs and high-end GPUs (graphics processors) to enhance live sources with minimal latency. Ikena Live can be used on video sources such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), ground vehicles, and surveillance cameras.
MotionDSP is privately held, and is headquartered in San Mateo, California. In-Q-Tel initially invested in MotionDSP in April 2007. For more information about MotionDSP, please visit www.motiondsp.com.
