Sentient, Edge Autonomy Collaborate for Maritime Search Demos

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Sept. 26, 2023 — Sentient Vision Systems, a developer of passive modular optical sensors, has completed live demonstrations of its AI-enabled ViDAR (visual detection and ranging) payload deployed on unmanned aerial systems (UAS) provided by Edge Autonomy. The collaborators used Edge Autonomy’s VXE30 UAS models to demonstrate capabilities for passive wide-area search for maritime operations. Sentient’s ViDAR technology combines AI, computer vision, and machine learning integrated with electro-optic and infrared sensors to passively detect objects that are difficult to spot with the human eye...Read full article

    machine vision
    Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
    artificial intelligence
    The ability of a machine to perform certain complex functions normally associated with human intelligence, such as judgment, pattern recognition, understanding, learning, planning, and problem solving.
    lidar
    Lidar, short for light detection and ranging, is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and generate precise, three-dimensional information about the shape and characteristics of objects and surfaces. Lidar systems typically consist of a laser scanner, a GPS receiver, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU), all integrated into a single system. Here is how lidar works: Laser emission: A laser emits laser pulses, often in the form of rapid and repetitive laser...
