ABOUT
PROPHESEE
Prophesee is the inventor of the world’s most advanced neuromorphic vision systems
BIO-INSPIRED
Inspired by human vision, Prophesee’s technology uses a patented sensor design and AI algorithms that mimic the eye and brain to reveal what was invisible until now using standard frame-based technology.
Prophesee’s computer vision systems open new potential in areas such as autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, IoT, mobile and AR/VR. One early application was in medical devices that restore vision to the blind.
Prophesee’s technology is fundamentally different from the traditional image sensors – it introduces a new computer vision category: event-based vision.

THE END OF FRAMES
FRAME-BASED: A conventional camera takes an arbitrary number of pictures per second, usually around 30 fps, in which all pixels record in synchrony regardless of what is going on in the scene.
EVENT-BASED: In Prophesee Metavision® patented sensor (discover our Evaluation Kits), there is a new kind of pixel. Each of them is powered by its own independent intelligent processing. This allows them to only records when they sense a change or movement. The information created does not arrive frame by frame. Rather, movement is captured as a continuous stream of information.
Prophesee sees between the frames, where all traditional frame-based systems are blind.
NATURAL EFFICIENCY
10 – 1000x
Less data than conventional sensors
<10mW
Enabling new levels of power efficiency
Prophesee technology functions like human vision.
Something moving at high speed will be sampled at a high rate. Something that moves slowly will be sampled at a lower rate, and something that does not change, will not be sampled at all. No excess data is created.
This drastically reduces the power, latency and data processing requirements imposed by traditional frame-based systems.

STORIES
Prophesee Appoints Jean Ferré as Chief Executive Officer to Lead Event-based Vision Sensing Pioneer in Next Stage of Growth
Prophesee appoints Jean Ferré as Chief Executive Officer as the company enters a new phase of commercialization and growth, building on a strong technological and organizational foundation and welcoming new investors. The company is sharpening its near-term focus on sectors with high value use cases demonstrating today the strongest demand and adoption momentum such as security, defense and aerospace, as well as industrial automation.
Event Sensors Bring Just the Right Data to Device Makers
Event-based sensors are redefining machine vision by mimicking the human eye. Rather than capturing full frames at fixed intervals, each pixel reacts independently, sending data only when brightness changes or motion occurs. This means devices capture only what truly matters, significantly reducing data and energy load while improving speed and dynamic range. From drones to AR wearables or medical robots, these neuromorphic sensors enable smarter, more efficient edge-device vision.
