Perceptual image intelligence
How can analysis account for the way people see?
We study colour, tone and attention to inform image adjustments and evaluate their results.
Explore the technology ↗Understanding images. Expanding possibilities.
An independent imaging research company working at the intersection of colour science, human perception and artificial intelligence.
Questions that become
creative tools.
Some of our research becomes software. Some powers partner products. Here we share the questions, purpose and selected insights behind the work, without disclosing proprietary methods.
Coherence across images
What makes different shots feel connected?
Our matching work investigates relationships between different subjects, lighting and compositions.
Explore the technology ↗Film appearance
How do light, emulsion and print create an image?
Research into film response and dye density supports existing film emulation and new appearances.
Explore the technology ↗Color management
How can a pipeline support complex appearance?
Working encodings and transformations connect cameras, image processing and displays.
Explore the technology ↗Grading references
How can a reference carry more than a transform?
X03 combines colour-transform information and contextual image data to support intelligent matching.
Explore the technology ↗Creative intent
How can an assistant learn a creative direction?
Reference materials and previous decisions can inform an agentic grading workflow and learned preferences.
Explore the technology ↗On-device imaging
How can image intelligence work within device limits?
We optimise specialised models and rendering for responsive professional and mobile workflows.
Explore the technology ↗Shared with purpose.
