A rising startup making strong and efficient robots for underwater inspections is using and promoting our product. Poseidon Robotics is based in Arizona and assembles robots of various sizes ate very affordable prices. They are among the first companies to make their robots Clarifier ready. Below is a picture from a recent article in the magazine Ocean News and Technology featuring the Clarifier ready Maui, the strongest robot of Poseidon Robotics.

We recently added one more revenue line utilizing a modification of the Real-time Clarifier for the post-processing of videos. This new software was so far only used for experimentation. We have now improved it and launched the video post-processing as a pay-per-use service. We can process all kinds of videos, from CCTV cameras to cameras inspecting oil and gas wells. One of our new customers is a startup from Colombia called Visual Logging. They have a very cool technology and now they incorporate the Clarifier to obtain a better picture of the walls of an inspected well. To find out more read our Linkedin post.

3D photogrammetry is a method of creating a 3D view of a structure from photos or video. In underwater low visibility conditions, it is a challenging task. It enables the extraction of a 3D model of a scene from 2D photographs. A more modern approach used by iPhones allows you to scan with something like a panoramic view of an object and extract its 3D view or more accurately its 3D model. All these processes require clear images because stitching together images to generate the 3D model is not an easy task. It requires landmark findings that is points of the 3D shape present in adjacent photographs. Water turbidity makes landmark extraction impossible. In the photo, you can see the 3D model of an underwater pipeline in turbid water. We want to find cracks. The left view is generated from the raw video. The right 3D view was extracted from the Clarifier-processed video using the same 3D technology. You can see how many more surface details are visible in the 3D view on the right.

Underwater 3D photogrammetry in low visibility conditions is a challenging task. It enables the extraction of a 3D model of a scene from photographs. This is what our eyes do. They are 2D image capture “devices” but allow us to extract the perception of the 3rd dimension, depth. I am not a photogrammetry expert. There are several people here who are leaders in the field. A more modern approach used by iPhones allows you to scan with something like a panoramic view of an object and extract its 3D view or more accurately its 3D model. This process requires clear images because stitching together images is not an easy task if landmarks or noticeable clean shapes cannot be easily identified. This is the problem water turbidity causes in underwater 3D model extraction from photographs or video. The visibility was low and the videos were hazy. The Clarifier helped generate a sequence of clearer views of the pipeline enabling the 3D model extraction the first we see in a low vis environment.

A great moment for every tech startup is when their technology is used and praised by its first customers. Tauchbroter Hamburg is a small firm in Germany specializing in underwater inspection inshore and offshore. Guess what, the North Sea and the ports on this coast of Europe are murky. Furthermore there are many civil infrastructure assets by river shores such as the river Elba one of Europe’s biggest and one of its commercial marine traffic arteries. Tauchbroter Hamburg is one of the first enthusiastic customers of Lolaark Vision. Our vision to become a successful company empowering successful customers is gradually becoming true. You can become part of our success and give us a bigger push by INVESTING IN LOLAARK VISION, a company with real, RECOGNIZED, and unique products, NOT PROMISES FOR FUTURE PRODUCTS.

Annual shareholder’s meeting. This is a good time for discussion and meeting the founders

WHEN: Saturday, July 27th, 2024, 9 AM Central time.

Agenda Approval of last year’s meeting minutes CEO updates, sales plans, and financials CTO updates

After the end of the meeting, we will have an informal discussion with shareholders from Start Engine and NetCapital, and our founders. The meeting will be recorded

Three days ago, Lolaark Vision Inc became three years old. When the company was founded on July 2nd, 2021, we had a proof of concept working for 720p resolutions. Almost three months later we launched our first crowdfunding campaign.

Three years later we made our first revenue-generating sales of the Clarifier, which works at 1080p resolution in real-time with very small latency at 30 frames per second compatible with almost every camera in the market.

For our fourth birthday, we aim to have a drone partner for co-developing the Clarifier for drones at 4K resolution.

Our 2024 General Assembly is scheduled for July 27th at 9 AM CDT (online virtual meeting). Thank you for your continuing support.

The picture is from one of our demo videos taken from a drone with a 4K camera. The video is post-processed with the Lolaark Vision technology and is part of our experiments for the development of the drone Clarifier. Experiments indicate that prospects are great for the 4K resolution.

Drone and helicopter navigation can be treacherous in hazy or foggy conditions especially when the vehicle approaches the terrain. A few months ago we ordered the collection of some data using 4K video and raw frames. These frames are the exact frames with no compression applied to them. Compression typically deletes data from a captured image. This is why the focus of our next main R&D project is to make a new software product with the Lolaark Vision technology to remove haze and defog the live camera feed of a 4K drone camera before the footage is transmitted to the ground control station. This is a transformative project that can only be supported by your investment. We currently proceed with the first task of this project, the refinement of the enhancement process. As you can see the results are very promising.

This announcement is a continuation of the previous announcement. Since the start of our crowdfunding campaign on NetCapital, we have achieved remarkable progress, and we are excited to bring you up to speed. Expanding Market Presence: We are actively engaging in sales efforts within the commercial diving and ROV operations market. Our innovative technology, which clarifies live video streams without the need for optical tools, is revolutionizing the industry. Whether it is fog, rain, murky water, or darkness, our solutions empower seamless visibility, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.

Industry Recognition: We are proud to announce that Lolaark Vision Inc.’s technology is the only one in its domain to receive certification from the prestigious American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). This certification underscores the quality, reliability, and trustworthiness of our products, setting us apart as a leader in the field. We want to hear from you. Meet our CEO. Click the link

We promised to show more pictures from the 2024 Offshore Technology Conference. In the picture we attach we show the Clarifier working in real-time. The water in the tank is now okay. After a few days in the tank, the water becomes a bit hazy. The turbidity is small but the Clarifier gives a nice crisp view of the corner of our booth. The tank can be partially seen on the screen in the left bottom corner of the picture. One can see through the tank walls. The Clarifier view gives the impression that there is no water in the tank. The ROV camera is made by Mission Robotics who will also be promoting the Clarifier as an add-on to their customers.

We also had several discussions including one with one of our competitors who visited our booth several times. As we move into sales we have revamped our website. We also have all of our financial reviews posted, on Investors’ Corner. We also have Clarifier training videos.

Our campaign went down briefly and now is live again after filing the annual financial report required by Regulation CF. This week Lolaark Vision was at OTC. Poseidon Robotics of Chandler AZ was our host. This year we run a more meaningful demo. We connected the Clarifier with a Poseidon Robotics Lanai X, their bigger vehicle that you see in the attached picture. The robot is swimming in a tank with clear water. Having murky water would not make the robot and the booth attractive! You can see the Clarifier live view on the TV monitor. Showing the software connected directly to the robot is a much better selling point instead of running a demo without a robot and with an external camera. The potential customers can see and inspect the entire assembly and verify the performance of the Clarifier and the low latency we have achieved. That latency pleasantly surprised us. You can see in the picture the robot and the Clarifier running on the laptop. The robot and the Clarifier were sold.

Today our campaign will go offline for a few days. We anticipate this campaign interruption to last only a few days and that we will begin campaigning at the end of next week, until we submit Form C-AR , a pure formality that we delayed processing because we initially had decided to stop campaigning on March 26th. We revised this decision to raise brigde capital to cover opex and devex of a small team until until we have enough revenue from sales to cover these expenses. Currently, we add customers but all of them have trial subscriptions. In conclusion, we plan to keep running the campaign at least through September 2024. In the picture, you see a pipeline 3D rendering with Clarifier processing. The 3D image is rendered using views from three cameras. The water was hazy and this made the rendering difficult and often erroneous. The data were provided by Vectrino, a Croatia-based company.

Dehazing is a major concern in the drone and helicopter industries, particularly in unpredictable hazy conditions. Our technology, the Clarifier, has shown promising results in enhancing drone camera captures in 4K even in thick atmospheric haze or fog. Check out the incredible video featuring the Clarifier in action. We actively seek drone partners to begin developing the drone and helicopter market vertical. Check what the Clarifier can do. connect with us on LinkedIn.

It has been a while since our last communication but several developments have occurred since then. We had one paid sale to a big, multinational diving company for a job they will do in Colombia. So most of our experimental equipment is sold. We are now training their personnel on the use of the Clarifier since the job they want to use the Clarifier for has started yet. This experimental equipment was used for our American Bureau of Shipping certification. So far we have served three different customers. The first Poseidon Robotics Lanai Pro ROV with the Clarifier was shipped to Nigeria last month. It took some time to put everything together the equipment and our partner company Poseidon had to redesign its operation control unit several times. Now, we have arrived at the final design and we optimized the connection with a very nice camera these robots carry. One of the challenges we face is to help customers integrate their robotic cameras with the Clarifier. To be continued

The Clarifier, our first main product, has been sold in Nigeria and Colombia for commercial diving companies. One market segment we focus on is the small underwater robot operators. These mostly work solo and perform inspections or collect research data. Among them, one subsegment is law enforcement. Small robots have many advantages, including cost, reduced labor cost, and efficiency since they use sonal for navigation in murky waters and a camera to inspect the regions of interest. Here we have an example of the small robot Clarrifier where we used a small tank to perform the test. We used a camera sending video using an internet protocol, like YouTube. We show side by side the enhanced and the original footage, with the latter shown on the left panel. Our campaign is closing soon. We may extend for a few days but not for long. If you are an investor or a follower please subscribe to our newsletter, the best way to keep up with Lolaark Vision. You will find the link below.

Last week we made our first big sale. This was a combined sale of hardware and software. We sold an HD-SDI camera for underwater usage along with a long coaxial cable made for the same conditions. This set was originally used for the experiments before the commercial release of the Clarifier. We also sold a Clarifier license. The software and the equipment will be used in an inspection of a major hydroelectric power plant in South America. The job is delicate, the buyer and contractor is very experienced and highly visible in the respective industry. Now we are talking to their sister company in Nigeria where coastal waters are shallow and murky but where a lot of valuable and environmentally sensitive offshore facilities have been based. We are thrilled because last month was our first month with income and monthly profit. As we said before we are closing this campaign on the 29th. Now it is time for sales. Hurry up because this camping will soon be over.

We are excited for our first presentation of our product the Clarifier in the Annual Texas section of the International Society of the Nautical and Marine Engineers. This is one the main events for offshore technologies in Texas and in the United States. About two years ago we presented the algorithmic prototype of our technology in the Annual Panamerican meeting of this society. Today we come with a product. This is a big step we all achieved together. As we mentioned before, we will terminate this campaign by the March 29th. We do this because we are talking to angel investors about our plans and how we will utilize any future investments. We plan to mainly focus on sales in 2024 and support sales from this campaign’s investments. We want to keep you more informed about our plans. So in two weeks, we will hold a webinar for you and our StartEngine investors and the followers of both our campaigns.

Greetings to all of our followers and investors. As the CEO I want to share with you some of my thoughts and invite you to call me and discuss with me why you should not miss the opportunity to invest more in Lolaark Vision. We will not extend this campaign beyond March 29th. So if you are only watching this campaign now is the time to decide what to do. We close the campaign because we want to utilize our capital to boost sales. We have several companies that offer inspection, repair, and maintenance services of marine assets and civil infrastructure, e.g. dams, water management systems, ports, interested in the Clarifier. We now need to turn our attention to them. We will need extra capital after this campaign ends but for this we are talking to venture capital. On the sales front, we have already several inquiries from Europe, China, the US, and S. America. We now need your boost to cross the finish line successfully. The pic is from a recent demo of the Clarifier in Galveston.

A great day today for Lolaark Vision. One of the major diving companies worldwide that specializes in hydroelectric dams, bridges, and ports maintenance, robotic underwater marine asset surveys, and deep diving is renting the Clarifier from Lolaark Vision for a very specialized maintenance job in South America. This is our first contract in the software and equipment rental business. A component of our product certification by the American Bureau of Shipping forced us to buy/rent certain pieces of equipment that now find new use as an essential hardware platform of the Clarifier. We refer to them as the Clarifier package. This package is available for sale and for rental. This Monday was the inaugural of the Clarifier rentals that bring additional revenue to us and visibility.

Happy New Year to all of our investors and followers. I want to share with you some of our thoughts and news. Underwater Intervention 2023 that ended on Dec. 2nd proved to be a great promotion for us. Although, we are a still a new kid in the block, we attracted a lot of attention because we have integrated the Clarifier with underwater robots used primarily for inspections. This type of robots represent a rapidly growing market. The capital we raise here will be mainly invested in boosting sales with a goal of reaching 25K in monthly sales by November 2024 and break even before November 2024. These are some of our plans. To approach the market effectively and promote our product we will use paid promotions and also advertise rentals with the full equipment provided. Our next goal is to modify the Clarifier for 4K resolutions, downsize the hardware to be able to run it onboard a medium size drone. We have already started working on upscaling the Clarifier from 1080p the 4K resolution.

Lolaark Vision wishes a Happy Holiday season to all of our investors, followers, and NetCapital angel investors. This year we chose a theme aligned to our next vertical market, drone/helicopter navigation software integration of the Clarifier. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah (belated), and Happy New Year to ALL.

Underwater intervention is a specialized show for equipment and robots for inspections, repairs, and environment monitoring. All the tools that exist and support these industries are on display in this exhibition. We shared a booth with Poseidon Robotics who showed a Laini Pro robot purchased by a construction firm based in Nigeria and will be used for the inspection of oil rigs. This is the first of the Poseidon robots that carries the Clarifier. All of them will come Clarifier-ready from now on so that customers can install the Clarifier as needed. In the photo you can easily recognize the Lanai Pro from its orange top, Next to it is the command console with the Clarifier installed. Peter Schubert and I appear in the photo.

Overall this show has been a great success for brand awareness and generated an interest for more sales. Customers are motivated to purchase licenses because they see the Clarifier installed in the Lanai and learn that it has third-party approval.

We spent this week in New Orleans at the International Workboat Show. Workboats are vessels used in service operations in ports, Lolaark Vision was featured on the front page of the Workboat Industry News magazine. The Workboat Show had a special section devoted to underwater technologies, robots, inspection cameras, lights, connectors, cables, sonars, and even small tourist submarines for relatively small depths. We had many interesting discussions with potential clients. One of the big boosts of our marketing campaign in this show was the integration of our first product, the Clarifier, with the underwater remotely piloted robots of Poseidon Robotics. It was the first time to demonstrate this level of integration and it made a very positive impression to the numerous Workboat Show visitors. Overall, we left New Orleans with optimistic 2024 sales prospects. INVEST NOW.

Come see the Lolaark Vision Clarifier’s live demo in Underwater Intervention, November 29th-December 2nd, New Orleans Convention Center. The Clarifier is a video processing software that increases x3-x4 visual clarity in real-time for up to 1080p video streams. The Clarifier is designed to work in murky waters. Compatible with select ethernet and all coaxial cable-connected cameras. Fully integrated with the Poseidon Robotics subaquatic robots. Performance verified by ABS for murky waters. The Clarifier works topside, no new underwater equipment is needed. Meet us at Booth UI-3854. We will show you the Clarifier in a demo and integrated with the Poseidon Robotics Lanai. The original photo was provided by Vectrino of Professor Josip Rukavina who often indulges us with impressive 3D renderings.

Join us tomorrow, Wednesday for the November NetCapital Demo Day at 3:00PM ET. Feel free to send questions to the moderator of the panel discussion. Lolaark Vision CEO will be one of the panelists along with founders from three other companies.

A wildfire can be deadly if one loses their bearings. Having some visual references to drive around is vital. Thermal cameras offer a solution but it is mostly designed for those who have some expertise to use them and during an emergency probably none of the endangered public may have one. Lolaark Vision has a solution that in the future and with some investment can possibly be turned into an app for cell phones. Watch the video on LinkedIn

Flying like a drone through thick fog. This is a 1080p video.

We are pleased to see our campaign grow. We want to thank our investors for their trust and welcome those who monitor our campaign to invest in Lolaark Vision. Our focus is now shifting to marketing our plans for the development of our next product, the Clarifier for aerial drones. The main challenge is to reduce the hardware requirements for our software and increase the resolution from 1080p to 4K. This is why we are raising capital. Please see the rest of our post “Flying through fog” on LinkedIn.

Our first product for underwater robots is now available for one of the biggest families of robots, the Blue ROVs of Blue Robotics. Blue Robotics introduced the inexpensive ROV business model that stormed the market. We currently secured one distributor for this product and we are working with other ROV and ROV camera manufacturers to make the Clarifier available as an add-on product for their cameras. We will be happy to tell you more about the marketing of the Clarifier in our Saturday Virtual Coffee and Cookies.

Morning Online Coffee and Cookies with the Lolaark Vision Team

Saturday, September 9, 2023 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM

Come join us for a discussion our ongoing campaign and the start of our marketing campaign for the underwater video Clarifier and future plans. If you are interested in our campaign or you have questions this is a perfect opportunity to discuss those with us and meet and greet other fellow investors.

We recently received an investment from a lady who was kind to share her motivation with us. We want to share it with you. “I drive to work at night I can relate the problem, this invention is promising hopefully before I retire I can use this now, it would be a great peace of mind when driving at night. Can you help in some way? I’m investing for the good of all people esp seniors with eye problems by then, let us support.” She really hit the nail on the head. I also drive at night and like all other older people led-powered headlights blind us. WE ARE HERE RAISING CAPITAL BECAUSE THIS IS ONE PROBLEM WE WANT TO SOLVE. We plan to install our tech on 4K dash-cams with a cell phone-like display on the back where the clarified picture, head-light free will be shown. This is a device that can help at night time, or during rain, storms, fog, or even smoke.

WE CANNOT DELIVER THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT YOUR HELP. BUT WITH ENOUGH INVESTMENT WE CAN BRING IT TO THE MARKET IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS

One fun video Driving in early morning fog on January 1st 2023. I drove to gather some test data for Lolaark Vision. Our real-time enhancer gives the right panel. Not ready for cars yet unless they carry a laptop just like emergency vehicles. Watch the video.

The Clarifier ROV by Lolaark Vision cleans up the view of your ROV’s live video stream in murky water. We just installed the first copy in a mini HP desktop, the G9 Elite mini with an NVDIA RTX 3050 GPU. The installation is for one Lanai by Poseidon Robotics LLC. The Clarifier ROV works with up to 1080p video and up to 30 frames per second depending on the GPU strength and PC RAM. We can customize it for all IP cameras with UDP and other protocol connections. We customize two cameras at this point but more will come: The Mission Robotics camera the Lanais carry and the classical Blue Robotcs camera. The Clarifier ROV shows one display only, the clarified and enhanced video. The product has been certified by ABS for low-visibility environments. The picture below is from OTC 2023. A Lanai was splashing the water in the display tank. We filmed it outside the tank with the Blue Robotics cameras. Here you see the two panels of the conventional Clarifier, original left, right enhanced.

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY LOLAARK VISION

What we have accomplished

Previously $340k raised through crowdfunding

Featured in Business Insider (Markets) & Digital Wildcatters

USPTO Provisional Patent Application filed in April 2023

Issued maturity letter from American Bureau of Shipping

The first product, the Clarifier for underwater robots is being released this month with the first delivery set for July 27th

Main Goals for Years 3 and 4

Expand client base in the underwater robot market Turn profit in 2024 Develop the product for aerial drones and find drone camera partners to market the product under license. Go for a Reg A+ capital raise to penetrate the self-driving car market. This will be the first opportunity for investors to sell stock

When one drives in the night animal encounters are scary. None of us wants to have an accident with an animal victim. Watch in the video how the cat crossing becomes noticable on the enhanced panel. If you feel the video is long scroll froward to minute 1:00 and watch for 1 min. 30 sec.

Artificial intelligence really needs no introduction. How much can you trust it for driving your car? As a researcher in the field of Image analysis with our in combination with AI methods, I would say it is still too early. AI and self-driving capabilities can help you but cannot replace you. enriching the training of AI systems is not always the answer. But self-driving capabilities will soon be truly realized. I use ‘soon with two grains of salt. Lolaark Vision envisions playing a significant role in this emerging technology. I found this video on YouTube. I like it and I decided to offer a more engineering version of it. I hope that you will like it.

Our first product the Clarifier for HD-SDI cameras is now ready for IP cameras. The first company to feature the Clarifier as an optional add-on is Poseidon Robotics. The first delivery is scheduled for July.

Lolaark Vision in the Offshore Technology Conference 2023 Exhibition. The exhibition opened on May 1st, a day before the official opening of our campaign on this platform. We shared a booth with our partner company Poseidon Robotics LLC which is a manufacturer of underwater robots. We had the opportunity to talk to a good number of visitors to our booth who were interested in underwater robots. So we had the opportunity to introduce to them The Clarifier 1.0, a product they said are looking for. Today we want to introduce you to those underwater robots. These robots are remotely operated and connected to the surface via an optical fiber tether. they can go deep and have a good operational distance from the surface operator control point. Please watch the short video. We are interested in deploying our tech on these robots because they have the strength and capabilities of some of the more expensive robots in the market but they are a lot more affordable.
