Quidient

Quidient is a deep tech, AI startup focused on scene reconstruction. We are an API-first company, enabling software developers in any industry to integrate powerful object and scene virtualization into their applications.

Generalized Scene Reconstruction

A method of creating and/or refining a scene model representing a generalized light field and a relightable matter field. Data used in reconstruction includes images, video, object models, and/or scene models. The generalized light field represents light flowing in the scene. The relightable matter field represents the light interaction properties and emissivity of matter occupying the scene. Scene data structures can be implemented using Neural Networks and Physics-based structures, among others. The light and matter fields are at least partially disentangled.

– Popular Definition from Wikipedia

Scene

A region in space (or in a world) that contains matter and transports light.

Plenoptic

Describes light traveling omni-directionally through positions in space. It takes five dimensions (5D) to describe something plenoptically.

Reconstruction

Means the creation of a spatial (3D, 4D or 5D) model from one or more images of a real scene. Reconstructed models can represent objects and scenes.

Our Story

Back in 2015, Scott Ackerson and John Leffingwell began to realize that the GSR solution existed at the nexus of technologies that they had individually developed. They put together a plan to bring the solution to the world, and launched Quidient in 2017.

Together, the Quidient team developed and patented the algorithms that make virtualization easy. Now, they’re taking the industry by storm with a novel approach to GSR called Plenoptic Condensation (PCon™). The team continues to grow as they deliver GSR into the pockets of everyday people across the world.
