Spectral Intelligence, Unbound

Smart sensing is about extracting information, not creating data.
Scalable. High-Resolution. Machine-learning friendly. Efficient.

See Materials, Not Just Color

Standard cameras are blind to the real world. They compress infinite complexity into three broad channels (Red, Green, Blue).

Lumos enables machines to see the chemistry of objects. By resolving material composition, we allow machines to distinguish between healthy tissue and tumors, detect soil nutrient deficiencies, distinguish between glass or plastic, or predict the ripeness stage of produce, and much more.

Answers, Not Terabytes

Why capture a 50GB data cube just to answer a “Yes/No” question? Traditional spectral cameras generate unmanageable mountains of data that clog pipelines. We solve this at the source.

We capture optically compressed signals of the size of RGB files, but have the bandwidth of hyperspectral cameras. This allows us to reduce bandwidth by ~50–100x, enabling real-time answers at the edge or delayed, on-demand processing from the cloud. Ideal for many modern applications.

People have been long disillusioned with the impossibility of using spectral imagery and videos for deep learning pipelines in many applicationas as they are too large and too expensive. Now you can.

Scalable Icon

True HD at Consumer Scale

Snapshot spectral cameras have historically been low-resolution and prohibitively expensive ($30k–$150k USD). We break this barrier.

By replacing complex glass optical trains with a single nanophotonic filter on a standard CMOS sensor, we deliver 1 Megapixel spectral resolution at a fraction of current costs and enable semiconductor economies of scale.
