Coronis Computing S.L.

Coronis Computing SL is a spin-off company of the Computer Vision and Robotics group of the University of Girona (Spain). The company carries out research, development and technology transfer activities in the field of computer vision and machine learning. Its primary fields of application are the following:

• Industry. Techniques developed by the company allow highly automated manufacturing processes increasing the production speed, reliability, and reducing associated costs.

• Underwater Imaging, 3D reconstruction and mapping. Coronis is a world leader company in 2D and 3D mapping of visual and acoustic data, as well as 3D object reconstruction.

• Medical Imaging. The company is actively involved in collaborations with medical centers, aiming to develop novel techniques for improved acquisition, processing and interpretation of medical data using various imaging modalities (MRI, X-ray, optical, etc.)

• Media surveillance. During the last years, the company has focused on the development of novel technologies with application to image understanding and semantic video classification. Automated video classification and real-time analysis of surveillance videos has been implemented in R&D projects and applied into end-user products.

Coronis will undertake activities in WP3 Joint Research Activities and WP7 Innovation Management and Exploitation.

Participation in the Joint Research Activities to explore new fundamental technologies to make ocean exploration and data processing more efficient and complementary to the participating research infrastructures. Specifically, Coronis may contribute in the development of techniques for online 3D terrain model for intelligent AUV exploration and on the development of machine learning techniques for seafloor recognition.
