Shanghai Shuangshen Information Technology

Shanghai Shuangshen Information Technology Co., Ltd., also known as AttrSense, is a technology firm established in June 2020 by founder and CEO Cao Lei. The company focuses on disrupting traditional image and video compression with artificial intelligence, offering solutions that span from algorithms to chip-level products. Its core business revolves around providing advanced image and video data compression for the business-to-business (B2B) internet and security monitoring sectors. By leveraging its proprietary AI-driven technologies, AttrSense helps enterprises significantly reduce data storage and bandwidth costs by 50-80%.

The company's founding team is composed of academics and researchers from prominent universities such as Zhejiang University, Fudan University, and the University of Michigan. This strong academic background is reflected in the company's research and development efforts, with the core R&D team having won the CVPR CLIC challenge for image and video coding for three consecutive years. AttrSense's business model is centered on developing and deploying its AI codec technology across various industries, including security, broadcasting, internet services, and healthcare. Revenue is generated by providing these sectors with compression products and solutions that can be integrated from the software algorithm level up to the chip level.

AttrSense's product lineup includes an image compression server featuring its self-developed ANF codec algorithm. The company also offers a software development kit (SDK) that allows clients to integrate the ANF codec into their own systems, achieving compression gains of 30-90% over mainstream codecs. Its video compression platform utilizes optimized H.264/H.265 encoding to process multiple video streams simultaneously. A key selling point is the technology's ability to perform intelligent region-of-interest (ROI) compression, distinguishing between foreground and background elements to apply different compression strategies. The company has secured multiple rounds of funding, including an angel round in December 2020, a Pre-A round led by Qi Ji Chuang Tan in November 2021, and a subsequent round of nearly 50 million RMB in January 2023.
