Fields of Expertise

Based on successfully completed projects, we offer experience in the following areas:

Algorithm design and development
Hardware-acceleration of image processing routines (CUDA, OpenCL)
Design and implementation of customized image processing libraries
Customer-specific software components for integration into large platforms
Wrapping of C++/C interfaces for scripting (Python)
Modular software systems with containerized and remote processing (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes)
Support with build system structuring (e.g. CMake, packaging, CI/CD pipelines)

Regarding AI applications, we can draw on a wealth of experience from successfully completed projects. Our extensive know-how covers the following areas, for example:

Customized neural network design (scalable from precision to performance)
Engineering of specific network nodes

It is important for us to maintain a closed loop between data curation, Annotation and Development and to integrate the latest developments from our Innovation projects.

Service Workflow

Our team covers the entire software development process, from planning, engineering, testing and integration to final deployment.

Together with our customers, we plan from the very beginning to find out what they really need.

The implementation of technically demanding solutions requires a fundamental technical understanding - a challenge that we at Chimaera face on a daily basis and are able to meet thanks to our excellently trained team.

Project Design and Requirements Capture

We help plan the project to meet all customer requirements:

Customer-centric requirements analysis
Creation of a development concept
Quality and certification planning (e.g. for FDA or CE)
Innovative solutions beyond the standard

Engineering

In a customer-focused development process, we provide services for tasks like:

App development (e.g. GUI, computation backends)
AI engineering: neural network design and optimization
Image processing algorithms (registration, segmentation)
Pattern recognition and machine learning algorithms
Component integration with modern build system

Deployment

Together with the customer, we develop a scalable deployment strategy:

Integration and test procedures
Quality assurance and certification support
Know-how transfer with source code delivery
Knowledge building through hands-on training
Scalability using cloud or containers

The project does not stop with the delivery, as we also assist with technology transfer - we do not deliver black boxes!

Technology Transfer

The project does not stop with the delivery, as we also assist with technology transfer - we do not sell black boxes!

Whether you are planning to build your own AI team, need your engineers to re-train models for certification requirements, or to explore which steps in your processes can be automated, we can provide consulting services:
