QURV Leads the Future of Vision with the 2DNeuralVision Project

The company QURV, with offices in the RDIT building at UPC, actively participates in the European project 2DNeuralVision, which develops advanced optical sensors based on 2D materials to improve visibility in rainy and foggy conditions. Together with partners such as Volkswagen and ICFO, QURV contributes to realising a new generation of key technologies for safety and autonomous driving.

The European 2DNeuralVision project is an initiative funded with 5.5 million euros through the Horizon Europe programme, bringing together 7 research centres, universities, and innovative companies from 4 different countries. Its main objective is to develop the essential components for a low-power computer vision system that can function effectively in adverse weather conditions and low light.

Within three years, this Horizon Europe project will create a new 2D enhanced wide-spectrum image sensor and an optical neural network, using advanced two-dimensional passive and active elements, primarily based on graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). These 2D materials will enable smaller devices with greater functionality, driving disruptive improvements in computer vision for sectors such as automotive, augmented and virtual reality, service robotics, and mobile devices, thereby strengthening European leadership in a greener digital supply chain. The project also participates in the Graphene Flagship.
