Compound Eye
Redwood City, CA company developing VIDAS — an AI-enhanced stereo vision system delivering lidar-free 3D perception for autonomous vehicles and defense.
Compound Eye, Inc. is a computer vision company founded in 2015 by Jason Devitt, headquartered in Redwood City, California, USA. The company develops VIDAS (Visual Inertial Distributed Aperture System), a 3D perception platform that fuses stereo parallax, motion parallax, and semantic cues to produce dense real-time depth maps without requiring lidar or radar. VIDAS uses automotive-grade cameras and runs on off-the-shelf embedded hardware, delivering ten times the spatial resolution of lidar at substantially lower cost.
The system supports applications ranging from ADAS driver assistance to full vehicle autonomy, as well as defense platforms operating in challenging environments. Compound Eye has received five Direct-to-Phase-2 SBIR awards from the US Department of Defense. The company has raised approximately $20.6 million in funding from Khosla Ventures and K9 Ventures.
Target markets include automotive OEMs, heavy equipment manufacturers, and defense contractors requiring scalable, cost-effective 3D machine perception.
