Washington , Bellevue -based start-up Alitheon has raised $2.8 million in seed funding to develop its machine perception technology, which scans the surface of an object and creates a metadata set of identifiable points, according to a report filed with Alitheon . The technology then transforms that metadata into a cloud-stored "featureprint" that can be used to identify and authenticate objects in logistics chains just by taking a picture of them with a smartphone or connected camera. We’ve reached out to Alitheon’s executives for comment and will update this item with anything we hear back. the US Securities and Exchange Commission hopes its technology will allow computers to recognise and track objects without the need for barcodes or security tags, and help reduce counterfeiting.
