Interested in learning more about what Univrses does?
Research and development in computer vision and machine learning is rapidly evolving. In this newsroom, you can read about Univrses’ activities and contribution to research, as well as the latest news from the industry.
Meet SharedStreets, a California-based open source software company and new friend of Univrses. This nonprofit organization has developed a nonproprietary, global linear referencing system that connects information about streets across jurisdictions, companies and governments - making transport data easier to use and understand. In August, a new collaboration including SharedStreets, Drive Sweden and Univrses was set in motion. The aim of the initiative is to make data gathering more efficient, and we do this by combining Univrses’ computer vision and machine learning technologies with the seamless open source infrastructure and methods provided by our colleagues at SharedStreets.

We are happy to introduce Johanna Thorn, new Product Manager at Univrses! Johanna has extensive experience working with GIS data within Smart City initiatives. Before joining our team, she was a Project Manager for the Traffic Administration at @stockholms.stad . As it happens, Johanna’s work paved the way for Univrses to begin working with Stockholm Stad as part of the Sthlm Virtual City project, together with @taxistockholm earlier this year.
•
In her new role, Johanna will be responsible for the development of Univrses' Smart City product 3DAI™ City.

@taxistockholm is the oldest, largest and most distinguished taxi company in the Swedish capital. As of spring 2020, we have the privilege to call them our project partners. The Company is one of three organizations that form “Sthlm Virtual City”, a unique Smart City initiative that is now taking place in Stockholm.
•
The Taxi Stockholm fleet carries mobile camera units equipped with Univrses’ computer vision algorithms. As the taxis operate in the city, a constant flow of timely, relevant and anonymized data can be accessed. Data that is being sent to our third project partner The City of Stockholm ( @stockholms.stad ) to facilitate city management, and that has the potential to both reduce emissions and make the city smarter and safer.
•
Thanks to Taxi Stockholm for enabling Sthlm Virtual City together with us!

We love roads and now, as of fall 2020, Univrses is a proud part of the Road Data Lab (RoDL). The project aims at facilitating open innovation around roads by making relevant data more accessible. Univrses will leverage the experience gained in developing 3DAI City to help develop the lab - and we are extremely proud to participate in this exciting project.
.
Thanks to @risesweden for leading this great initiative. Thanks also to our project partners @zenuityhq, AI Innovation of Sweden, @lunduniversity and @chalmers.university Industriteknik, and last but not least, thanks to sponsor Vinnova for constantly enabling Swedish tech to develop!

A while ago, we announced that Univrses work on Real-Time Semantic Stereo Matching had been accepted at ICRA (International Conference on Robotics and Automation). The 2020 conference is now coming to an end, and we are proud to have taken part in such an excellent event.
You can now watch Univrses’ Deep Learning engineer Pier Luigi Dovesi's presentation on YouTube! Pier talks about how this technology addresses the problem of spatial and contextual understanding for autonomous navigation. It enables high-accuracy, real-time interpretation of an urban environment using just a mobile device. This, and other technologies we are developing at Univrses, make it possible to detect and localize vehicles, traffic signs, pedestrians and other features needed to manage a city. #3dai #univrses

We are proud to announce another great win! Our master's thesis student Fereidoon Zangeneh has been awarded a grant by WASP to carry out an Industrial PhD programme at Univrses in conjunction with @kthuniversity. In the course of his research, he will work on augmenting our mapping technology with deep learning which makes it possible for us to build more accurate semantic maps of cities.
Congratulations and welcome to the team, Fereidoon!
We keep investigating new areas where our Smart City product 3DAI™ City can be used, and it pays off! Univrses is part of the ANIARA consortium, led by Ericsson, who have come together to work on 5G and its utilization in Smart Cities. Last week, the consortium received a grant from Vinnova to develop this exciting capability. This grant is another great acknowledgement of 3DAI™ City. 5G is a new area for us, and we are excited to explore its potential as we change cities, societies and people’s everyday life for the better!
Thanks Vinnova and ANIARA!
