AIPATH

AIPATH finds, identifies, and follows moving objects in video from drones and other autonomous aerial vehicles. It works from camera feeds and, where available, thermal images, radar, and other sensor data.

The software classifies each object, such as a person, a vehicle, or a piece of equipment. It then follows the object from frame to frame and estimates where it will move next.

Reliable tracking is hard in the field. Motion blur, changing altitude, low light, partly hidden objects, and limited onboard computing all reduce accuracy. AIPATH is built to run on the vehicle itself, with low delay and little or no network connection.

Uses include inspection of power lines, pipelines, and wind turbines, farm and livestock monitoring, search and rescue, port and vessel monitoring, public safety, and defense awareness reviewed by people.

AIPATH can be offered to drone makers as software, as an onboard module, or as a cloud service that analyzes aerial video. Its focus is measured accuracy in hard conditions.
