Recently, a new generation of fusion vision sensor chip company Reishi Wisdom Core announced the completion of hundreds of millions of dollars of Pre-B round financing. Sdic Venture Capital and Yuanhe Chenkun jointly led the investment, while Lenovo Venture Capital, Qing Ke Venture Capital, Gu Yu Jiahe, Tongge Venture Capital, Zhongke Advanced Industry Fund, Shenzhen Angel Fund, ifei Venture Capital, Chase Yuan Venture Capital and other old shareholders continued to invest. Founder Deng Jian said that this round of funds is mainly used for the mass production of enterprise products, to accelerate the development of new products and new areas.
Resi Smart Core is a new chip R&D and overall solution provider in the field of integrated Vision sensing. The core technology is its original Hybrid Vision integrated vision sensing technology. The core products are integrated vision sensor chip ALPIX series. Provide integrated intelligent vision solutions for smart phones, consumer electronics, smart security, and smart cars.
Yuan He Chen Kun said: “In recent years, the mobile phone innovation technology point is scarce, the integration of vision sensors as the core product of Reisi intelligent core, integrated the advantages of CIS and EVS, is expected to take the lead in smart phones, consumer electronics and security monitoring and other fields have been applied, growth prospects are broad.” With an excellent team with a complex background of high-end chips, machine vision, artificial intelligence, hardware and software, and strong technical and talent barriers, Resi Intelligent Core is expected to grow into a benchmark enterprise in the industry.”
Previously, the smart core has made important breakthroughs in technological innovation. Its first chip based on Hybrid Vision fusion technology, ALPIX-Pilatus, was released in October 2021, validating the feasibility of the fusion vision solution. Subsequently, in July 2022, the first high-end fusion vision sensing chip ALPIX-Eiger was released, which is mainly used in consumer electronics such as smartphones and action cameras.
He Zhiqiang, senior vice president of Lenovo Group and president of Lenovo Venture Capital Group, said: “Visual AI has a huge market potential in consumer electronics, intelligent security, intelligent cars and other fields, which is one of the characteristics of the intelligent revolution brought by AI. High-end imaging technology lays the foundation for large-scale application of visual AI. As an outstanding integrated vision sensor developer, RixIC has a team with both algorithm, software, hardware and chip R&D experience and capabilities. Its leading integrated bionic vision technology greatly improves the performance of event cameras and enables visual AI to land in richer scenes, which is especially in line with the new concept of Lenovo Group AI for all. Lenovo Venture Capital will rely on the ecological advantages of CVC2.0 to continue to provide empowerment for Resi Intelligent Core, and jointly promote the prosperity and development of visual AI ecology.”
Scic believes that the fusion of vision sensors can be effectively applied in high-speed photography, intelligent security and automatic driving fields, Resi intelligent core original developed the event sensor and traditional image sensor fusion technology, can achieve a single chip output event flow signal and RGB signal function, the future market prospects will be broader. The company’s integrated vision sensor products have been recognized by many downstream customers, and it is one of the first companies in the world to commercialize this type of sensor, which is in line with the national strategic direction and industrial development needs, and has positive significance for improving China’s competitiveness in the field of image sensors and driving the development of related fields.
According to the company, the company will participate in the CES International Consumer Electronics Show held in Las Vegas in January 2024, looking forward to working with innovators, partners and customers around the world to explore new application possibilities for integrating vision sensing technology.
