[edit]

The company was founded in 1995 as a provider of software outsourcing services. In 2004, Rhonda was certified as a SEI CMM level 4. Since 2007 the company has been doing R&D in the area of computer vision.[6] In 2011, Rhonda introduced its first computer vision solutions myAudience-Count and myAudience-Measure - audience count and classification tools.[7][8]

Since 2014, Rhonda Software is a camera design partner of Ambarella, Inc.[9] The company demonstrated its H22 SoM with a camera demo design at the CES 2020 Expo[10][11] and participated in the Embedded World 2020 Expo[12][13] in the same year. A cooperation with VisionLabs engineers allowed to use their face recognition algorithm in order to execute DNN inference and train the network onboard.[14] In 2021, Rhonda Software established a partnership with Brodmann17 and launched an ADAS camera platform based on Ambarella CV25 edge AI vision System on a Chip.[15][16]
