About DarbeeVision
DarbeeVision supplies unique image technology for life-like images and establishes a fundamental breakthrough for image realism. Darbee Visual Presence puts into an image more of what the brain is expecting to take out, so the image helps the viewer see it better. More a discovery than invention, the Darbee approach tears up the textbooks by efficiently solving several extremely tough challenges for enhancing monoscopic digital images.

DarbeeVision's flagship solution is Darbee Visual Presence Hardware. Visual Presence Hardware is a technology independent hardware module that can be integrated using standard interfaces of existing LCD controllers or media processors ICs. It is a small form factor IP block and has no impact on existing pin footprint. An FPGA prototype of this logic core is available for customers for side by side comparison of video quality performance.

The Opportunity
Global shipments of Digital TVs is expected to exceed 220M units in 2010. By 2013, half the world's TV homes will receive digital signals - or 636 million households. By 2013, Blu-ray player shipments (80M) will still lag slightly behind the 90 million DVD player unit shipments. For each of these segments, consumer focus on improved images drives demand for new image improvement capabilities. Media display makers are seeking to differentiate. With Darbee Visual Presence, the differentiation is in the image.

Competitive Advantage Brain-Compatible Image Enhancement
Existing solutions are limited by fidelity. Images can be better than that limited by fidelity by leveraging brain imaging of human sight and perceptions characteristics. This allows base TV 2D to be upgraded to Ultra HD realism without changing to more expensive display panels.

DarbeeVision technology enables a fundamental breakthrough for image realism. By putting into an image more of what the brain is expecting to take out, Darbee Visual Presence enhanced images help the viewer see them better.

IP
DarbeeVision was issued a basic patent in 2006. Key areas of innovation and intellectual property are; embedding disparity depth cues in 2D images, computationally inexpensive parallax disparity generator, very fast and very accurate saliency mask.
