Theia Technologies 将美国的创新与日本的光学专业知识相结合，提供高性能光学，以满足机器视觉、智能交通、安全和其他工业成像应用的严格要求。

Theia 的精选产品组合包括使用我们获得专利的线性光学技术® 的镜头，以光学校正广角图像中的桶形失真。 Theia 还设计和生产定制光学器件以满足客户的特定要求。

Theia Technologies 成立于 2006 年，旨在将一种新的镜头技术推向市场。 Theia 设计、制造和销售高分辨率、高性能镜头，包括使用我们专利的畸变校正技术的超广角直线镜头。

创世纪

Theia 的超广角直线镜头基于我们的专利线性光学技术®。 Jeff Gohman 和 Mark Peterson 在领导商业和娱乐投影仪制造商 InFocus Corporation 的高级技术小组时发明了这项技术。 2002 年，InFocus 决定设计一款超薄背投电视，以与新兴的等离子和液晶电视竞争。这需要一个无畸变的广角镜头才能实现非常薄的电视。该电视由 InFocus 和合作伙伴 RCA 于 2004 年推出，赢得了多项奖项，包括 2004 年《大众科学》杂志的“Best of What's New”。它在 2005 年和 2006 年销售，直到 InFocus 和 RCA 在等离子电视价格急剧下降时退出市场。

公司组织
2006 年，Gohman 和 Peterson 从 InFocus 获得独家许可，将镜头技术带入其他市场。他们创立了 Theia Technologies，最初进入了安全和军事市场。

Theia 是在日本制造合作伙伴 Nittoh Inc. 的协助下创建的。Nittoh 是一家备受尊敬的镜头制造商，在日本和印度尼西亚设有工厂。镜头在美国 Theia 设计，然后由 Nittoh 进一步设计以提高可制造性和成本。这些镜头在雅加达附近的日东印尼工厂按照 ISO 9001 和 ISO 14001 标准制造。

2014 年 1 月 Theia 美国总部获得 ISO 9001:2008 认证，并于 2017 年 12 月获得新 ISO 9001:2105 标准的认证。

Theia 的管理团队由总裁 Jeff Gohman、高级技术副总裁 Mark Peterson、业务发展副总裁 Andrea Van Landingham 和财务副总裁 Lisa Gohman 组成。

创新

2007 年，Theia Technologies 推出了世界上第一款用于安全和机器视觉市场的超广角直线镜头。 Theia 专有的线性光学技术® 允许设计高达 135° HFOV 的超广角镜头，同时几乎消除图像中的桶形失真；直线保持直线。失真校正是在镜头中以光学方式实现的，无需使用去翘曲软件，从而使镜头可用于任何兼容格式的相机。这些镜头与大多数安全和机器视觉相机兼容，从高分辨率模拟到 4K 分辨率。


Theia Technologies applies American innovation with Japanese optics expertise to deliver high performance optics to meet the exacting requirements of machine vision, intelligent transportation, security and other industrial imaging applications.

Theia’s curated portfolio includes lenses using our patented Linear Optical Technology® to optically correct barrel distortion in wide angle images. Theia also designs and produces custom optics to meet our clients’ specific requirements.

Theia Technologies was founded in 2006 to bring a new lens technology to market. Theia designs, manufactures and sells high resolution, high performance lenses, including ultra-wide rectilinear lenses using our patented distortion correction technology.

Genesis

Theia’s ultra-wide rectilinear lenses are based on our patented Linear Optical Technology®. Jeff Gohman and Mark Peterson invented this technology while leading the Advanced Technology group at InFocus Corporation, a maker of business and entertainment projectors. In 2002 InFocus decided to design an ultra-thin rear projection TV to compete with the emerging plasma and LCD TVs. This required a very wide-angle lens without distortion to enable a very thin TV. The TV was launched by InFocus and partner RCA in 2004 winning multiple awards including Popular Science magazine’s “Best of What’s New” in 2004. It was sold during 2005 and 2006 until InFocus and RCA exited the market when the price for plasma TV dropped precipitously.

Company Organization
In 2006 Gohman and Peterson obtained an exclusive license from InFocus to take the lens technology into other markets. They founded Theia Technologies and initially entered the security and military markets.

Theia was started with assistance from Japanese manufacturing partner Nittoh Inc. Nittoh is a well-respected lens manufacturer with plants in Japan and Indonesia. Lenses are designed in the US at Theia then further engineered to improve manufacturability and cost by Nittoh. The lenses are manufactured to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards at Nittoh’s Indonesian plant near Jakarta.

In January 2014 Theia’s US headquarters achieved ISO 9001:2008 certification and achieved certification to the new ISO 9001: 2105 standard in December 2017.

Theia’s management team consists of Jeff Gohman - President, Mark Peterson - VP Advanced Technology, Andrea Van Landingham - VP Business Development, and Lisa Gohman - VP Finance.

Innovation

In 2007 Theia Technologies introduced the world’s first ultra-wide rectilinear lens for the security and machine vision markets. Theia’s proprietary Linear Optical Technology® allows the design of ultra-wide angle lenses up to 135° HFOV while nearly eliminating barrel distortion in the image; straight lines remain straight. Distortion correction is achieved optically in the lens without the use of de-warping software, allowing the lens to be used on any compatible format camera. The lenses are compatible with most security and machine vision cameras from high resolution analog up to 4K resolution.
