Devant

Devant develops and produces synthetic training and validation data to shorten lead time and increase accuracy for Machine Learning systems.

Unique combination of speed and accuracy

Devant provides high-quality synthetic data to support the training, validation and testing of Machine Learning networks. Offering unparalleled data customization, Devant delivers life-like 3D simulations that enable Machine Learning developers to generate any real-life scenario. This empowers businesses to boost the performance of their computer vision applications, while also reducing bias normally associated with human-centric data.

Delivering a unique combination of speed and accuracy, Devant enable customers to specify their own adjustable parameters, returning high-quality training and validation images in a matter of days.

The team includes experts from the visual effects (“VFX”), computer graphics, and Machine Learning industries. The motion capture, animation and rendering capabilities developed in the VFX industry play an essential role in the production of realistic data, so this experience is absolutely essential to Devant’s mission.

Devant’s synthetic data has potential use cases across a wide range of industries. For example, realistic human-centric data can be used to train, validate and test in-cabin automotive systems, Biometrics, Medtech, Robotics, Surveillance and Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality. 

The fast-expanding market for Devants state-of-the art quality data for Machine Learning applications in a variety of segments is truly global.

With the rapid expansion of Machine Learning applications in a variety of segments, data sets to train and validate these ML-applications are critical. Devant has assembled both the technology and team to be able to mass-produce high-quality pictures and animations, leading to better and more secure algorithms. In many cases, these algorithms are saving lives every day. We are thrilled to join Richard and his team on their continuous journey to improve Machine Learning systems and reduce lead times for training and validation.
