Eyedea Protects AI Software with Thales Sentinel - Case Study

Since 2006, the company’s SDKs are secured and accessed using Sentinel

AI is nothing new for Eyedea. Established in 2006 by a research group from the Center for Machine Perception at the Czech Technical University in Prague, the company’s first product was license plate recognition using machine learning (ML), a subset of AI. Today, their products span vehicle and driver safety recognition, facial attributes, and anonymization. Eyedea’s customers include international and national police organizations such as Interpol, Europol, and the Czech Police, as well as commercial enterprises — among them Toyota. After developing its first offering, Eyedea sought a licensing solution renowned for IP protection and software access and therefore turned to Thales for its Sentinel platform.

With Thales inside, our customers can trust access to their software is safeguarded ... Meanwhile, our IP is protected as well.
Martin Urban Eyedea CEO

Ongoing Partnership

As a Sentinel customer since their inception in 2006, Eyedea sees Thales as a partner. Eyedea has relied on the Thales support team for its consistent, personalized support for licensing their evolving AI products over time - for large and small organizations alike. While AI is now on the cusp of becoming ubiquitous, Thales Sentinel has been supporting Eyedea’s AI software for nearly two decades. “As AI grows, Thales Sentinel grows with Eyedea,” noted Urban.
