About
Cortica is an Israeli company founded in 2007 with leading AI technology for visual perception. Its unique self-learning technology, backed by more than 300 patents, allows Cortica to develop multiple products that can read and understand images on a human level. The company's mission is to lead the emerging AI market with a strong focus on computer vision and establish its "universal visual index of the world" as the global standard, enabling machines to read and understand images. Cortica's vision is to embed its capabilities in all next-generation platforms where understanding images is a critical task, including autonomous vehicles, smart city applications, security cameras, drones, media, robotics, and medical image analysis. The technology developed by the Cortica team is based on research of the function of the human brain, utilizing unsupervised learning methods to recognize and analyze digital images and video. This technology, called Image2Text, is based on the founders' work in digitally replicating cortical neural networks' ability to identify complex patterns within massive quantities of ambiguous and noisy data.
