20/20 Vision: Dr. Huican Zhu on The Future of Computer Vision
With recent, rapid advancements in computer vision technologies and the increasing presence of these technologies in everyday life, it’s unsurprising that the computer vision domain is top-of-mind both for investors looking to deploy capital in a growing space as well as for startup founders looking to advance the space through entrepreneurship. The growth of the computer vision space has been of particular interest for Amino Capital: as a data-focus venture firm with many successful portfolio companies in the computer vision space like Orbeus (acquired by Amazon), Grokstyle (acquired by Facebook), Daedalean.ai, AIFI.io, Voyage.auto, BrainKey and Wyze, Amino seeks to identify new, innovative technologies in the space and help them grow by leveraging the firm’s expertise and resources.
Additionally, Amino’s team of technologists are doubly interested in the growth of the computer vision space because of their expertise: partner Dr. Huican Zhu, for instance, is a pioneer of computer vision as the inventor of Google Image Search. Amino Fellow Patricia Tang recently sat down for a conversation with Zhu to learn more about his thoughts on the growth of computer vision over the years, emerging applications in the space, as well as on his advice for potential startup founders in computer vision.
