YOUR sensor, OUR software

Automated Sensor Operator (ASO) utilizes a Computer Vision method in acquiring, processing, and analyzing sensor data, at the edge.  By applying a mission specific trained target set the AI (ML/Deep Learning method) algorithm distils rich data down to actionable intelligence, which can be exploited and disseminated with negligible latency.  By leveraging artificial intelligence, the human-intensive role of searching for small objects of interest in large geographical areas is greatly enhanced both in target detection accuracy, fixed search patterns, and larger searchable area.

  • Proven mission-specific AI sets

  • Customizable, trainable modules

  • Powerful detection algorithms

  • Automated sensor control & image capture 

  • Rapidly evolving feature sets

ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE 
delivered in real-time via edge processing and a simple user interface. Raw data is distilled down to the most important information, reduced for transmission and delivered to operators or networked systems for review or action.
 

Example Capabilities:
• Interactive map display
• Sensor data fusion
• Mission-specific image outputs
• Simple network integration
• Data reduction for transfer

Sample use case: Maritime ISR

Overwatch Imaging ASO software controls sensor operation to scan large areas of ocean from high altitudes. AI-based software models ingest multispectral image data on the edge and analyzes it in real time with detection algorithms programmed to automatically detect user-selected objects of interest (large boats, small boats, swimmers, etc.) and send geolocated detections to a user or networked system for decision making. 

Sample use case: Change Detection 

Overwatch AI autonomously controls sensor operation over scan area to optimize coverage based on flight profile. After second pass over the same area of interest, onboard software compares data from both flight paths and finds changes between the scenes. Changes are georeferenced on an interactive map for user/operator review. 

Overwatch AI: Fire Mapping

Overwatch systems are designed to simultaneously operate multiple area scan cameras, including visible band (RGB), near infrared (NIR), shortwave infrared (SWIR), mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) in a co-boresighted system with a dual-antenna Global Positioning System (GPS) inertial navigation system. The sensors feed full bit-depth data to onboard AI-enabled GPU-accelerated image processors, which run Overwatch Imaging proprietary software to register, mosaic, align, geolocate, compress, and analyze imagery.
