GEO is the industry leader in programmable, high performance geometric processor ICs focused on smartphones, smartphone peripherals, video communications, wearable and automotive cameras, and surveillance markets. GEOs highly patented eWarp platform technology features the lowest power and silicon cost for performing unlimited pixel transformations such as de-warping wide-angle, fisheye and 360 degree video streams and enabling all digital ePTZ (electronic pan/tilt/zoom). In addition, eWarp processors can simultaneously correct for optical distortion and stitch together multiple camera video streams, allowing unlimited numbers of views (transformations) at no additional cost. These capabilities result in lower optical system costs as well as reduced manufacturing costs through digital calibration. eWarp also enables new product and feature categories hitherto not economically feasible using existing conventional approaches. GEO's Emmy Award winning RealtaTM (real-time processing of video algorithms in software, trillions ops/sec) platform technology enables ICs that can perform Hollywood-proven video processing in software and in real time on a single device. It is anticipated that at 40 nm and below, this superior approach will become fully competitive with conventional hard-wired video processing approaches. GEO is focused on the rapidly growing sensor-based camera markets, has in excess of 30 customers in production or design with its existing ICs, and has the next generation eWarp IC device in design. GEO is headquartered in Santa Clara, California with offices in Toronto and Orlando, and sales channels around the world.
