ArcSoft
ArcSoft spent three decades teaching cameras to do more than record a scene. Now its code improves phone photos, reads the cabin and helps cars understand the road - usually without the person using it ever seeing the name.
GLASS Imaging
GLASS Imaging is a Los Altos, California startup building GlassAI, a neural image signal processor (Neural ISP) that uses AI to reverse lens aberrations and sensor imperfections and pull DSLR-grade detail out of the tiny cameras inside smartphones, drones, and wearables. Founded by former Apple engineers Ziv Attar and Tom Bishop, the company licenses its software to device makers - it debuted commercially in the Honor 600 smartphone in 2026 - and pitches itself as recovering real detail from RAW sensor data rather than hallucinating pixels. It has raised roughly $29-31M, including a $20M Series A led by Insight Partners in 2025.
