About us
About us
PLANET has a worldwide unique and leading solution for image and handwriting recognition based on modern artificial intelligence.
Biologically motivated novel models for information processing already achieve the recognition performance of human experts in many tasks and have a significantly higher processing speed.
It is our goal to implement these results of the most modern research and development directly and to the advantage of our customers in our products and solutions. The result of these efforts is reflected in our products for document analysis,traffic surveillance and the logistics market.
