Throughout Lumidigm’s history, we have performed contracted R&D for others, developing technologies and products to address unmet needs in a variety of marketplaces. Generally the technologies that have been developed combine novel optical sensor design with sophisticated algorithms for classification, estimation, and/or image processing and analysis. Paid-for technologies that have been developed and demonstrated include spoof detection, non-traditional biometric sensors, touchless fingerprint acquisition, and optical measurement of various compounds in the human body.
Some of the R&D was performed under a range of different United States federal government programs, and some of the R&D was performed for commercial partners. Many of these development efforts led to new features and functionality in our products and those of our partners.
In the course of R&D efforts, Lumidigm has developed a significant patent portfolio, which today comprises of 14 U.S. patents granted, 16 foreign patents granted, and many more filings pending in the U.S. and internationally. Although these patents were developed to support Lumidigm’s product portfolio, we are also willing to discuss licensing of portions of our intellectual property under suitable terms.
Periodically Lumidigm publishes whitepapers on technologies that are in early-stage development. If any of these technologies are of interest for your application or if you have a commercial requirement that could benefit from any of Lumidigm’s core competencies, please click the “R&D Inquiries” button to submit a question or request by email. We will be happy to discuss your requirements and see if we can help solve your most vexing technical problems.
