## About

**Au-Zone Technologies** builds EdgeFirst — a comprehensive platform for deploying AI perception on edge devices. We support cameras, LiDAR, radar, and time-of-flight sensors for real-time object detection, segmentation, sensor fusion, and 3D spatial understanding.

Our stack spans four layers: **Foundation** (hardware abstraction and inference delegates), **Zenoh** (pub/sub microservices), **GStreamer** (media pipeline plugins), and **ROS 2** integration. All released under **Apache 2.0**.

## Model Zoo

Pre-trained models validated on real edge hardware with full-dataset accuracy metrics and detailed timing breakdowns per device.
