Logic & Design

Logic & Design Co., Ltd., established in March 2018, is a research and development firm specializing in proprietary algorithms that enhance and restore digital images and video. The company was founded by Kimiaki Sato, who serves as the Representative Director, along with two other founders with diverse backgrounds, aiming to create synergistic effects across different industries. The firm's mission is to contribute to the improvement of people's Quality of Life (QOL) by making the unseen visible.

The company's core business revolves around two main technologies: "LISr®" (Logical Image Sensitizer), an image clarification algorithm, and "Re:Na®" (Resolution:Na), a restorative high-resolution algorithm. LISr® works by expanding the dynamic range of an image, which clarifies details lost to issues like poor lighting, adverse weather, or backlighting, making it useful for real-time applications such as surveillance and inspections. Re:Na® focuses on restoring low-resolution or blurry images to their original, higher-quality state by recalculating image frequencies. A key differentiator is that these algorithms operate using only the original data, without creating or predicting information through AI, which has led to their adoption for use as evidence in legal proceedings and by news organizations.

Logic & Design's business model involves the development and sale of hardware, software, and licenses incorporating these technologies. The company serves a B2B market across various sectors including medical, security, disaster prevention, automotive, and manufacturing. Products include hardware like the "MIEr®" device for medical use and the "nano LISr®" for near-infrared thermal cameras, as well as software solutions for image analysis and correction. The firm generates revenue through product sales, licensing agreements, and providing customized solutions, partnering with companies like Senju Pharmaceutical and Sanwa Technos to expand its reach.
