Kuznech - the winner of startup competition at IDCEE2012. Image processing toolkit with wide range of different functions. Michael(CEO) said, that they have different technologies, from morphology-based image similarity to image retrieval and search among images. Also he said, that they were working for a while on it and have some US patents on their technologies. I can’t find any patents dedicated to Kuztech like a company, but there are some patents from their Chief Scientist Alexander Valencia-Campo. Anyway, they have a really strong team with solid experience in the area.
