About Prophesee

Advancing how machines see

Prophesee is a pioneer and global leader in Event-Based Vision. For more than a decade, we have advanced a fundamentally different approach to machine vision – one that senses change as it happens instead of repeatedly capturing complete images.

Today, our patented sensors, cameras, software, algorithms and AI come together in complete perception systems. From photons to decisions, we enable machines to detect, understand and respond to the moments that matter – with exceptional speed, resilience and efficiency.

Sensing the next move

The world changes continuously. A target shifts direction. A defect appears and disappears at production speed. A particle moves through a microscopic field. These moments may be brief, but they can change the outcome.

Inspired by how the human eye and brain process visual information, Prophesee’s neuromorphic technology reveals fast, subtle and unpredictable activity that conventional imaging can blur or miss. Its natural efficiency begins at the pixel, capturing changes while limiting repeated information from unchanged parts of the scene.

This approach is especially valuable where timing is critical and power, bandwidth or compute are constrained. Explore its relevance across:
