About
In the age of digital innovation and technology, the power of computer vision has proven to be groundbreaking. Computer vision, a discipline of artificial intelligence, has changed the way machines can perceive and use the world around them and us. Meaningful information can be obtained quickly and efficiently from digital images and video streams and used as basis for decisions and actions.
While computer vision is currently experiencing a massive upswing and is being used in more and more applications, its real-world implementation is complex and can only be successfully realized with sufficient expertise. Our goal is to make computer vision accessible to a wide range of users.
Many applications appear distinctly different at first glance, yet their technical solutions are similar, offering the potential for powerful synergies in development and implementation. Our products and services use this advanced technology to solve problems, increase efficiency and improve user experience. We focus on holistic solutions that cover all aspects of a problem, in a sustainable way. The information obtained by computer vision therefore becomes meaningful on a greater level.
To this end, Sirius Group GmbH initially comprises multiple companies that complement each other
Our VIVALDI GmbH is offering an advanced modular ecosystem for the manufacturing industry. This solution is based on a highly scalable data architecture and combines automated quality control using computer vision and AI with comprehensive traceability of all process steps and components, with complete integration of dynamic manufacturing and logistic workflows in a single system.
The Computer Vision Institute is an innovation center, which analyzes the latest trends in computer vision, industrial automation and artificial intelligence and develops new solutions for the product portfolio of Sirius Group.
Its first solution is intelligent parking management based on AI-supported parking space recognition.
Contributing to the Smart City and the Internet-of-Things (IoT) we collaborate with public institutions to develop our pioneering parking management solution. Using AI-based cameras, our system automatically detects the availability of parking spaces, enables drivers to find them quickly and conveniently and helps municipalities increase the efficiency of their parking usage.
Team
The founders of the Sirius Holding have known each other for several years and developed the idea of the company together.

Smart City Suite
Together with our academic partners, we go beyond existing limits and develop the AI use cases of tomorrow.
We develop solutions for parking management that comprise hardware, software, and cutting-edge computer vision for detecting free/occupied parking lots. Monitor more than 50 parking lots with a single device while complying to the highest data privacy standards due to edge computing and save communication. Features include displaying anonymous representations of the monitored region and advanced deep learning algorithms facilitating predictions of future occupancy.
Detecting parking offenders adds another flavor to our smart city suite. We develop solutions for detecting park offenders that comprise hardware, software, and cutting-edge computer vision for triggering alerts in case of illegally parking vehicles. Typically monitored regions include no parking zones, fire lanes and access points, sidewalks, time limited and unauthorized parking. Our solution complies to the highest data privacy standards due to edge computing and gold standards for save communication. Anonymous representations help to localize park offenders in the monitored scene.
Our smart city suite offers the capability of intelligent crowd detection and object counting. For this we develop solutions that comprise hardware, software, and cutting-edge computer vision applicable to various use cases. Examples include tracking of peak-usage hours for effective maintenance and resource allocation, real-time detection of crowds and tracking of customer flows. Our solution complies to the highest data privacy standards due to edge computing and gold standards for save communication.
We further offer the capability of automated traffic flow analytics. For this we develop solutions that comprise hardware, software, and cutting-edge computer vision for a variety of use cases. Examples include understanding real-time traffic flow and traffic trends, identifying incidents and traffic congestions, detection of speeding, improper lane usage, ignoring traffic signs, and measuring speed. Our solution assures compliance with the highest data privacy standards due to edge computing and save communication.

Revolutionizing Urban Management with Spatial Consciousness
At a time where Smart Cities, Artificial Intelligence, and Big Data are reshaping our world, Sirius is at the forefront of pioneering a groundbreaking concept: Spatial Consciousness. This innovative approach transcends the traditional capabilities of intelligent systems, starting a new era of urban and environmental management.
Spatial Consciousness is the culmination of advanced sensor technologies and IoT, encompassing photo cameras, laser scanners, and acoustic devices, integrated with cutting-edge AI and Big Data analytics. This fusion enables the continuous, accurate collection and interpretation of spatial and spatio-temporal data. But our vision goes beyond mere data collection. We envision systems that not only gather and visualize data but also autonomously analyze, control, and steer the processes, proceedings and phenomena they detect.
What sets Spatial Consciousness apart is its holistic, long-term memory approach. It involves maintaining and updating a comprehensive knowledge base of both static and dynamic states and events. This functionality provides a robust framework for complex analyses, allowing for the validation or refutation of hypotheses related to intertwined urban phenomena - from climate change risks and sponge city potentials to traffic optimization and public space utilization.
Our vision of Spatial Consciousness is pivotal for CEOs and CTOs seeking to navigate the complexities of urban management and development. It promises not just smartness, but a deep, integrated understanding of urban dynamics. This technology is instrumental in realizing the full potential of digital twins, enhancing the efficiency and precision of business, societal, and political operations.
At Sirius, we are not just envisioning the future; we are actively shaping it. Embrace Spatial Consciousness with us, and transform the way your organization interacts with the urban environment. Let's redefine the possibilities of smart city technologies together.
