About Us

Image Sensing Systems, Inc., (ISS) emerged in 1984 when Dr. Panos Michalopoulos, our founder, had the vision of using video image processing (machine vision) technology for advanced traffic management. Dr. Michalopoulos saw the potential of using video cameras and computers in real-life traffic applications to offer innovative solutions to our increasingly congested roadways and initiated the Autoscope research and development when the market was in its infancy.

ISS is a technology company focused in infrastructure productivity improvement through the development of software-based detection solutions for the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) sector and adjacent overlapping markets. ISS’ industry leading computer-enabled detection (CED) products, including the Autoscope® machine-vision family and the RTMS® radar family, combine embedded software signal processing with sophisticated sensing technologies for use in transportation, environmental and safety/surveillance management. CED is a group of technologies in which software, rather than humans, examines the outputs of complex sensors to determine what is happening in the field of view in real-time.

With more than 100,000 instances sold in over 60 countries worldwide, our depth of experience coupled with breadth of product portfolio uniquely positions us to provide powerful hybrid technology solutions and to exploit the convergence of the traffic, security and environmental management markets. We are headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota.
