VIDEOMETER AS

Their core work

VIDEOMETER AS is a Danish technology SME based in Herlev that develops advanced multispectral and hyperspectral imaging systems, combining hardware sensing with image processing software. Their work in the RealVision project reveals deep expertise in high-dynamic-range imaging, light field capture, and perceptual quality assessment — the science of measuring whether images look real. In the DiTECT project, they applied this imaging technology to a food safety context, contributing digital inspection capabilities to a European food safety transformation initiative. In practice, they are a specialized imaging instrumentation company whose products bridge computer vision research and applied industrial quality control.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their first H2020 project (2018), VIDEOMETER was embedded in fundamental imaging research — HDR capture, light field reconstruction, and perceptual quality metrics — suggesting they were contributing sensing hardware or image analysis algorithms to a science-focused training network. By 2020, their focus shifted decisively toward applied food safety, joining a consortium explicitly about transforming food inspection through digital technologies. This trajectory mirrors a classic SME pattern: early-stage research participation to develop technology credibility, followed by applied sector projects where that technology earns commercial traction.

VIDEOMETER appears to be moving from foundational imaging research toward applied food and agri-food quality control — a natural commercial landing zone for multispectral imaging technology, and likely where their next partnerships will focus.

How they like to work

VIDEOMETER has never coordinated an H2020 project, always joining as a partner or participant — a pattern consistent with an SME that contributes a specific technology rather than driving scientific agenda. Despite only two projects, they accumulated 55 unique consortium partners across 15 countries, which means they joined large, multi-partner consortia (particularly DiTECT and the MSCA training network RealVision). Working with them likely means getting a technology supplier who integrates well into multi-institutional settings without expecting to lead.

Despite only two H2020 projects, VIDEOMETER has touched 55 unique consortium partners across 15 countries — a reflection of the large training network and food safety consortium structures they joined. Their network skews toward Northern and Western Europe, consistent with Danish SME R&D patterns.

What sets them apart

VIDEOMETER sits at an uncommon intersection: a commercial imaging hardware company with genuine research credentials in perceptual and multispectral imaging, validated by both a Marie Curie training network and a food safety RIA project. For consortia in food, agriculture, or quality control, they offer something most universities cannot — a deployable, commercial imaging instrument that can serve both as a research tool and a route-to-market proof point. Their Danish base also connects them to one of Europe's strongest food technology ecosystems.

Highlights from their portfolio

• DiTECT
  The only project where VIDEOMETER received direct EC funding (EUR 168,750), signaling they were a substantive technical contributor to this food safety digitalization consortium rather than a peripheral partner.
• RealVision
  Participation in an MSCA Innovative Training Network on hyperrealistic imaging is unusual for a commercial SME — it suggests VIDEOMETER actively engages with doctoral-level imaging research, not just applied deployment.
