Company Info
Background
EVS was formed in 2002, although the company had its origins a decade earlier with the work of EVS founder and CEO, Dr. Gavin Hough. While in Antarctica, completing research for his PhD in Space Physics, Gavin developed a mathematical algorithm which could be used to detect and monitor the Southern Lights (Aurora Australis) when using a combination of automated cameras and image processing computer software.
Gavin noticed the similarity between the motion patterns of the Aurora and those of wildfire smoke, and with the help of an innovative team of programmers, engineers, technical staff and business partners, Gavin’s initial vision system went on to become ForestWatch®, EVS’s award-winning flagship system for early fire detection.
