SOLVING THE "SODA STRAW" CHALLENGE OF AIRBORNE IMAGING

Overwatch Imaging systems eliminate the frustrating “soda-straw effect” common in traditional video gimbal systems (wherein the user is constrained, like viewing through a soda straw, to only seeing small sections of land or water at a time if they want to see high-resolution, meaningful images).

By eliminating the soda straw effect, Overwatch Imaging makes large area, small-object searches immensely easier.



Our systems operate in an automated scanning mode to increase data coverage at high resolution. Because our systems use an onboard AI software to analyze imagery in real time, the system cameras can move quickly between each ground location, without being limited by human interpretation time or datalink transmission bottlenecks.

Overwatch Imaging systems enable real-time intelligence, decrease data transfer challenges and greatly reduce post-flight processing time.

Our systems for overland applications can increase per-pass data coverage by up to 4x, including overlap between images. This means users can either collect 4x the amount of ground per pass or increase the resolution by 4x, or some combination of both.

Overwatch Imaging systems greatly increase the size of an area that can be analyzed, the speed at which it can be analyzed and the resolution of the imagery.
