Illumination Works (ILW) is thrilled to announce the launch of its Computer Vision Center of Excellence (CoE). Computer Vision (CV) is a specialized area within Data Science that focuses on image processing and applying artificial intelligence (AI) models for tasks such as object detection, recognition, and tracking. These capabilities enable computers to interpret visual data and extract valuable insights, empowering businesses to make more informed decisions.
Committment to Excellence
Advancing Team Expertise
The creation of the Computer Vision CoE reflects ILW’s ongoing dedication to excellence, both for our team and our clients. This new CoE will seamlessly collaborate with our established Data Science Practice and Natural Language Processing (NLP) CoE to enhance expertise and deliver leading-edge, integrated computer vision solutions.
Dedicated to Empowering Individuals
Cultivating Thought Leadership
The launch of the CV CoE aligns with ILW’s top strategic priority to support our people and nurture the next generation of leaders. This new CoE enhances collaboration across project teams, promotes continuous learning among data scientists, and drives the development of best practices, research, education, and thought leadership in computer vision. These efforts embrace the foundational focus of delivering exceptional value to our clients.
This is an exciting initiative for ILW and the Data Science Practice. We have grown our computer vision capabilities so much over the last few years that it makes sense for ILW to embrace its standing as industry leaders. Within this CoE, we hope to not only set a standard for how excellent computer vision is done, but also draw in talent from around the company to incubate innovation in ways we otherwise would not have had the opportunity or knowledge of if it were not for this community.
ILW has exceptional data scientists with deep expertise in computer vision to help our customers unlock knowledge from images and videos. The launch of our CV CoE will further enable our data scientists to stay on top of emerging technologies in computer vision and develop innovations that advance the field and support our customers.
Shaping the Future of Visual Intelligence
Next Generation Innovation
The mission of the CV CoE is to innovate and apply next-generation computer vision techniques to address client-specific challenges. This includes advancements in image acquisition, pre-processing, 2D/3D object detection, feature engineering, NLP-adjacent vision models, and 3D projection modeling. Additionally, the CoE aims to tackle industry challenges like image and video visualization, deepfake detection, 3D computer vision, advanced satellite vision, and integrating knowledge into computer vision systems.
Delivering Exceptional Client Experiences
Unlocking the Potential of Visual Understanding
