SVision LLC becomes DRVision Technologies LLC
New company will expand collaboration with Nikon on software development
SVision LLC, an emerging leader in the use of advanced learning technologies for broad image recognition applications, announced today that it has established DRVision Technologies LLC (DRVision) to assume and continue the existing business of SVision LLC. DRVision has entered a comprehensive collaboration contract with Nikon Corporation. With this collaboration, the software technologies of both companies will be integrated to develop higher value-added products in Semiconductor Inspection Equipment, Systemized Microscopes and Live Cell Imaging solutions. To further the success of this collaboration, Nikon has made an equity investment in DRVision.
“DRVision has a portfolio of innovative technologies and a collection of next generation automated measurement, recognition and learning solution suites including technologies and inventions created under the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded multiple Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) programs,” said Dr. James Lee, president & CEO of DRVision. “I am extremely excited and pleased to work together with such a high caliber partner as Nikon Corporation to expand our business together.

About DRVision Technologies LLC (Formerly SVision LLC)
DRVision develops and markets the next generation microscopy image analysis software, SVCell. SVCell enables scientists and technicians to teach recipes for high performance image segmentation, optimized measurement and accurate pattern classification. The teaching is fast, easy and intuitive, and the taught recipe can be easily updated to match evolving experimental protocols. The validated recipe can then be executed in a high throughput imaging assay with fast, accurate and robust performance comparable to custom written algorithms or “turnkey” systems.
DRVision is a technological innovator with 31 issued 1 allowed and 15 pending US patents in high-speed image processing, pattern recognition, machine vision, automatic learning, spatial reasoning and data mining. Since 1999, DRVision has been pioneering the use of learning technology in a broad range of practical image recognition applications. SVCell development is partially funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under multiple Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) programs.
