Congratulations to Vizgard who have won first prize in this year's Airwards in the 'Defence, Security and Surveillance' category.
Vizgard is building a safer future with a computer vision solution to automate and enhance surveillance, unmanned and counter-UAS platforms. Their platform-agnostic 'AI Toolkit' runs on low-SWAP edge devices and offers drone and camera OEMs with state-of-the-art capabilities such as object detection and tracking, image enhancement, face-redaction and optical navigation in GPS-denied environments, enabling a better chance of finding and tracking subjects of interest.
What the Airwards judges said:
"An incredible technical achievement and development which combines drone imagery and artificial intelligence. This high level of adaptive innovation will have a myriad of exceptional real-world uses that will protect the public and the innocent – from event and mass gathering support and safety to improved capabilities in search and rescue. This programme is another component in the future of drone technology that needs to see increased adoption, while balancing the privacy of individuals, both of which Vizgard is on the path to helping with."
