Slyce Acquired Yorku Computer Vision Technology For Retail E-commerce

Toronto, Ontario, February 05, 2014 – Slyce today announced that it has acquired a computer vision technology developed at York University that quickly analyzes and aggregates similar images. Through the acquisition, Slyce also hired former York PhD student, Dr. Ehsan Fazl-Ersi, to lead the integration of the intellectual property into Slyce’s Visual Search Platform as their new head of Research & Development.

Slyce is a premium provider of visual search technology for retailers, brands and publishers. Their platform allows customers to take a picture of real-world products with their smartphone and then find direct or close-matching products from the retailer’s catalogue, which they are able to purchase on the spot.

“Identifying and classifying an object captured within a scene is difficult due to the effects of background clutter, lighting variations and viewpoint changes on the object’s appearance,” says Fazl-Ersi, who designed and developed the technology with his PhD supervisor, Dr. John K. Tsotsos, a professor in the Lassonde School of Engineering’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and a member and former director of York’s Centre for Vision Research.

“This is a much bigger problem for mobile applications where the algorithm’s speed and efficiency are the difference between losing a consumer or making a sale,” says Fazl-Ersi. “Our technology will provide higher accuracy when quickly identifying retail items so that consumers can choose among similar items according to style, colour or pattern using a mobile device.”

The researchers partnered with MaRS Innovation and Innovation York, York’s commercialization office, to file patent protection on the initial technology, develop a commercialization plan, secure grant funding, facilitate business development meetings and negotiate the resulting transaction.

“Slyce is excited to reach this deal with York University and MaRS Innovation and add another piece of unique technology to our platform,” said Adam Jarczyn, Slyce’s chief product officer. “Visual search is experiencing explosive growth and has become a compelling way for retailers to engage their customers. York’s technology provides us with another competitive edge in ensuring a high-quality consumer shopping experience.”

Through a Market Readiness Phase I grant from the Ontario Centres of Excellence, the researchers were able to better understand the computer vision market place and create software development kits that let potential industry partners test the technology and benchmark it against state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms.

“York University is pleased to support this deal, which will make Professor Tsotsos’ and Dr. Fazl-Ersi’s computer vision technology available to customers all over the world,” said Dr. Robert Hach, York’s vice-president Research & Innovation. “The deal demonstrates Innovation York’s ability to assist our researchers in commercializing their intellectual property and securing employment for the highly qualified professionals who are trained at York.”

“The Slyce-York transaction will allow a Canadian company to secure Canadian intellectual property and a highly qualified professional from a Canadian institution,” said Dr. Raphael Hofstein, president and CEO of MaRS Innovation. “This transaction reaffirms our capability to move technology from the lab to the market so that it benefits our members and their researchers in several ways. We look forward to making rare transactions like this one more commonplace.”

About SlyceSlyce is a visual product search platform which enables people to discover and purchase the things they love by snapping a photo with their smartphone or hovering over an image on their desktop. Using advanced image recognition technology, Slyce integrates with the world’s leading retail brands, enabling them to be there at their customers’ point of inspiration – wherever that might be.

How a Laser Changed Our Lives and World

It has just been 50 years since the first laser has been introduced to the world, by a legend Theodore Maimam in 1960. This first laser named as ruby laser was using a synthetic ruby as grain medium and has shaken the entire world and gave a new definition and understanding in us about the technologies. Since then there are many evolutions that came in laser improvements and with ever new inventions it has been intervening in military, industrial, cosmetic, research, medicine and many other sectors changing our lives. Today they have become the integral part of human life as they are used in sensors and many electronic devices which we use on a daily basis. Apart from the existing benefits and use cases that are in light from a laser, there are many companies as well as laboratories striving to find new possibilities and new applications of the laser that would facilitate the necessities we have in our lives. Few companies have been working towards creating weapons with this technology which might lead to war.

Whats New in a 2013 Laser World?

Every year there is a new application introduced to the public with the best example being the latest 100-INC laser TV that has been provided by LG Electronics in 2013. Than to call it TV it would be apt to call it as a projector that gives access to stream internet services from this big sized screen thus giving a feel of having own theatre at home.

The new set of applications is waiting to serve us using the new technology that has been worked out by Imran Mahboob who created laser with the use of sound waves than using the regular light waves. Though it might take several years for the applications to start working surely it is the new milestone achieved in the laser evolution process.

Another achievement is at Hasso Plattner Institute where researchers have found a way to make 3-D objects with the use of 2-D laser cutters. Something called as LaserOrigami has proved to be faster than the traditional 3-D fabrication applied on 3-D prototypes by simple bending.

Swedish researchers were able to release a promising robot, at the AASS Research Centre located at Orebro University, by name Gasbot that would work continuously. With the inbuilt system made of gas sensor, GPS and powerful lasers, it would be able to collect the data and then build the maps that should give the directions to do the investigation of the places that are likely to have leaking harmful methane which then will be passed on to the workers for further process.

If someone has to experience hallucination without using drugs then it could be possible very soon with the kind of laser Forest application invented by marshmallow Laser Feast from UK. You would admire whispering trees and enjoy listening to the great music that comes out from each tree in the forest, which typically is just a rod installed in the floor.

From the science fiction there came an idea where the military airplanes can shoot the rockets by themselves which might become true in 2014 with the testing of solid self defense laser system that is installed in combat airplanes. This invention is from the USAF and it will get into real firing tests.

Lasers can even manipulate climate by formatting clouds and provoking rain, creating seed clouds, smog as well as prevents floods etc. which will all help the world. Even the common man who is finding difficulty in organizing events can go ahead once they are let to use this for their necessities. All this can be achieved from pulses of light due to which ice can be formed or water can be condensed and so on. Professors like Dr Kasparian and Professor Wolf strongly believe that laser technology would definitely help control the weather.

Professor Gerald Buller was able to find a solution to get 3-D information when a low power laser beam is passed over the object and the result of this innovation is the stunning camera that can take 3-D photos up to 1 kilometer away. The superconducting nanowires would count the distance of one laser pulse that would return back from the object and this is where it has become quite famous and expected to work well underwater or air, like in airplanes, for scanning forest vegetation, for measuring the dimensions of oceans or lakes.

The next innovation that would come into light very fast in the market provided FDA approves is the laser that would help treat the sun damage which will eliminate the need of visiting a medical institution for healing any of the damages caused by the sun. They are so genuine that even would doctors would prescribe them.

With the numerous innovations that are coming up with laser technology it becomes truly difficult to undercover all of them or would take lots of time for a common man to go through the number of possibilities and features that this laser would give us.

Reasons why you should consider Internet phone technology for making cheap calls

The way we communicate with each other has undergone a radical change over the last 15 years. It was only a matter of time before someone had the bright idea of combining old and new technology to give people an alternative to the traditional telephone. In 1995, a small company called Vocaltec did exactly that. They realised that they could combine the still-new Internet technology with the old style telephone concept, basically creating an -Internet phone’ system that used the broadband connection instead of traditional landline technology, and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) was born.

Today, Voice Over IP is opening up the world of telephony and high-speed telecommunications for everyone. It combines the concepts of the traditional method of making a telephone call with the speed of modern broadband Internet connections to offer customers all over the world a way of making cheap calls both at home and internationally. VoIP now crosses continents, enabling customers to make cheap phone calls all over the world without any loss of voice clarity (a problem that the early VoIP systems tended to suffer from) or the risk of the connection suddenly being -dropped’ in the middle of a conversation. Because Voice Over IP enables customers to make long distance calls but at the same rate as a local call, the savings can be considerable, particularly for businesses and those with family or friends overseas.

VoIP – A new business tool

Where VoIP is really coming into its own is in the business community. No longer restricted to purely large business users, It is particularly useful for small and medium size companies that may have satellite offices in other parts of the world or who regularly deal with clients overseas. For even the smallest business users, the fact that their international calls can be made at the same rate as a local call can save a huge amount of money annually in their communications bills.

It also shows that you mean business. Not only does an Internet phone system save you money, but it also portrays your company in a favourable light as well. It shows that you are embracing the very latest technology and are serious about communicating with your customers on a professional level. The Internet has removed the concept of -borders’ as far as trade is concerned, and VoIP does the same with telephony. With an improvement in the technology comes a much easier way of incorporating VoIP into daily life. The system can now be linked to a standard telephone handset, making using VoIP to make cheap calls literally as easy as picking up the phone.

With the VoIP network spreading as fast as broadband can carry it, Internet phone systems are the most cost effective, business-like and easy way to connect with your customers, family and colleagues around the world – as easily as making a local call. And with the advent of fibre optics making broadband speeds even faster, VoIP’s future is looking distinctly rosy.
