Scape Technologies, the London-based computer vision startup working on location accuracy beyond the capabilities of GPS, has been acquired by Facebook, according to a regulatory filing.

Further filings show that Scape’s previous venture capital representatives have resigned from the Scape board and are replaced by two Facebook executives.

Founded in 2017, Scape Technologies was developing a “Visual Positioning Service” based on computer vision which lets developers build apps that require location accuracy far beyond the capabilities of GPS alone.

Scape CEO and co-founder Edward Miller previously described Scape’s “Vision Engine” as a large-scale mapping pipeline that creates 3D maps from ordinary images and video.

The Visual Positioning Service was made available to select developers via Scape’s SDK. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1581278836.5611563/Facebook-has-acquired-Scape-Technologies,-the-London-based-computer-vision-startup-–-TechCrunch?ref=audio_experience
