Polar Rose grew out of computer vision research - the analysis of digital images and video - at the Universities of Lund and Malmö in southern Sweden. We are currently a team of 22, including computer science graduates, mathematics and physics Ph.Ds, a user interface designer, and a technology-fascinated economist on off-roads.
We believe that we have superior technology which will give meaning to digital photos and allow these to be indexable just like text documents on the web are today. We work on friendly, fun, useful and transparent applications, that use computer vision technology to sort and add context to the photo web. Our upcoming product releases are currently in a closed beta with a limited number of users, but will be released to more people as we hash out bugs and achieve sufficient scale.
Contact us if you have any questions, concerns or comments, or consider joining our team if you would like to take part in the fun of building Polar Rose.
Polar Rose uses and runs on open source technology our contributions back to the open source community can be found at Google Code and in the Jetty Hightide server.
We've taken in €4 million ($5.1 million) in funding from Nordic Venture Partners to help finance building a world-class product.
