Invented Here.
AVG is not only a consulting and content business. It is also an IP holder — with four granted patent families in imaging, video processing, and data encryption, cited by some of the world’s largest technology companies.
Four Granted Patent Families
Method and System for Processing of Images
XHD video from ultra-wide fisheye lenses is divided into patterns, assigned coordinates, and reformatted into HD using an encryption key. Enables secure transmission of wide-angle surveillance video through standard HD pipelines.
Multiple Image Stream Processing
Multiple image streams from different sources are combined into a single stream by reducing colour depth and merging. Processed as one stream, then separated by reverse reordering. Foundational to multi-sensor surveillance systems.
Method and System for Stitching Two or More Images
Stitching two fisheye hemispherical images by converting each to a triangle, then combining into a rectangle — pixel-perfect, no loss. Foundational to 360° spherical video production. Cited by GoPro, Qualcomm, Nvidia, and IBM.
Fuzzy Protection of Visual Content
Scrambles visual information by dividing an image into patterns and relocating them using a key. Enables secure delivery of visual content. Granted across 30+ countries on four continents.
XstreamGenerator (XsG)
The only independent CCTV camera virtualisation and benchmarking suite of its kind.
XsG was built by Stéphane Jacob when the tool the market needed did not exist. Rather than waiting for a vendor to build it, he built it himself. The result is an ONVIF-compliant software suite used by 100+ companies globally — including tier-1 defence, technology, and security corporations.
What XsG does
Virtualises physical CCTV cameras in software for testing and benchmarking without hardware. Enables integrators and manufacturers to test camera behaviour, storage impact, and system performance in a controlled environment. ONVIF-compliant and compatible with the leading VMS platforms.
Tier-1 customers include
Axis Communications · SAAB Security · Siemens · General Dynamics · Dallmeier · Milestone Systems · Johnson Controls · Gunnebo · Tyco Security · Seagate · DELL/EMC · Hitachi · Pivot3
Our Brands
Three decades of names our clients still know.
Before Atlantic Venture Group, there was Doo. Founded in Bordeaux in 1998, the Doo family of brands carried our work across media, software, and security for more than two decades. Each name still stands for a body of work our clients recognise — and every brand name and domain remains held within the group.
Doo Interactive
The original brand. 360° imagery, 3D and interactive multimedia — with clients including Thomson CSF, 3Com, and the European Space Agency from its very first year.
Doo Technologies
Software and hardware proofs of concept for security and surveillance, covering both static and mobile applications.
DooWORKS
360° video and stills production from pre-production to delivery — for real estate, entertainment, training, and promotion. Built on immersive work dating back to QuickTime VR and iPIX in 1996.
XstreamGenerator
The only independent CCTV camera virtualisation and benchmarking suite of its kind — testing bandwidth, quality, storage, and longevity of entire CCTV systems before deployment.
