Heritage — Technology Foundations

Before the Synthe Suite, iB3 built computer vision and IoT systems: biometric face recognition, video analytics, embedded sensing, and the SDKs that made them deployable in production environments. That work is documented here.

We keep it published for two reasons. It is where the engineering discipline behind the current platforms was formed — calibration, ground-truth validation, and a working knowledge of how systems behave outside the laboratory. And some of it remains available: the imaging and IoT capabilities described in these pages are still supported for existing partners and for projects where they fit.

What was built

Face Recognition — biometric identification and verification, deployed in access control and screening contexts.
Video Analytics — detection, tracking and behavioural analysis over live and recorded video.
Internet of Things — embedded sensing, MEMS instrumentation and field deployment.
SDK — the developer toolkit that made all of the above integrable into third-party systems.
