Two
Research Labs

Abstor advances next-generation technologies through two dedicated research labs focused on advanced imaging and digital engineering.

Together, they bridge scientific research, technology development, and system realization to transform emerging ideas into practical solutions.

Two Research Labs

Imaging & Vision Lab

Abstor Imaging Lab is the advanced imaging research arm of Abstor Inc., dedicated to exploring, developing, and validating next-generation imaging technologies. The Lab operates at the intersection of optics, sensors, computational imaging, and AI—bridging fundamental research and real-world systems.

Rather than functioning as a conventional in-house laboratory, Abstor Imaging Lab serves as a focused research and engineering entity that collaborates with academic institutions, industry partners, and mission-driven programs.

Research Focus
Abstor Imaging Lab conducts applied research in advanced imaging systems, with an emphasis on technologies that directly impact imaging performance and reliability.

Key research areas include:

  • High-performance camera systems and sensor technologies
  • Adaptive optics for high-resolution imaging
  • Computational imaging and imaging-focused AI
  • End-to-end imaging system architecture and validation

From Research to Systems
Research at Abstor Imaging Lab is driven by system-level thinking. Each research activity is designed to transition smoothly into deployable imaging systems, platforms, and services. This approach enables the Lab to function not only as a research entity, but also as a catalyst for technology transfer and system realization.

Collaboration & Engagement
Abstor Imaging Lab actively engages in collaborative research with universities, research institutes, and technology partners. The Lab supports joint research programs, technical demonstrations, and co-development initiatives that advance imaging technologies beyond laboratory environments.

Digital Engineering Lab

Abstor Digital Lab is Abstor Inc.’s dedicated digital research and engineering group, focused on building the software, data, and intelligence layers that power advanced imaging systems. The Lab operates across data pipelines, system software, and AI-driven platforms, enabling imaging technologies to function as scalable, intelligent services.

Rather than a traditional internal development team, Abstor Digital Lab functions as a specialized digital innovation unit, bridging research-grade technology and real-world deployment.

Core Focus Areas
Abstor Digital Lab develops digital technologies that extend and enhance imaging systems beyond hardware.

Key areas include:

  • Imaging system software and platform architecture
  • Data pipelines for acquisition, processing, and analysis
  • Edge computing and on-device AI integration
  • Web-based interfaces, visualization, and user interaction

From Systems to Platforms
The Digital Lab emphasizes platform-oriented development. Our work transforms individual imaging systems into integrated digital platforms that support automation, scalability, and long-term operation. This approach enables seamless interaction between imaging hardware, algorithms, and end users.

Collaboration & Integration
Abstor Digital Lab works closely with Abstor Imaging Lab and external partners to deliver tightly integrated imaging solutions. The Lab supports joint development, system integration, and technology transfer, ensuring that digital capabilities are aligned with physical system constraints and mission objectives.
