SightLine Applications’ Software Functions

SightLine presents a robust suite of software functions essential for a diverse range of real-time applications. This software suite is for advanced camera system integrators, offering flexible configurations to optimize systems for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), security, maritime, inspection, and various other applications.

Our powerful trackers are highly adaptable for any ISR application, enabling aerial tracking of ground vehicles even through obstructions such as road signs, overpasses, shadows, and trees. With a range of algorithms to choose from, our robust tracking has been tried and tested, accumulating millions of flight hours. The detection software effectively highlights objects, including vehicles and pedestrians, as small as 2x2 pixels, providing crucial situational awareness and aiding in tracker initialization.

SightLine’s Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (Counter UAS) solutions automatically detects and tracks small, fast-moving objects, particularly useful for drones. The staring mode of our detection software, when watching a fixed scene, is optimized for ground cameras that are either stationary or staring, detecting up to 100 objects as small as 2x2 pixels.

Pairing full tracking with detection, integrators can create comprehensive solutions for automatic gimbal-pointing. To improve situational awareness, our enhancement software effectively reduces noise such as fog, smoke, and atmospheric interference. Enhancement modes, including CLAHE, LAP, false color, AGC, scintillation mitigation, and more, optimize video presentation. Color enhancement for electro-optical (EO) video is especially useful in foggy, low-light scenarios.

Our Dead Pixel Removal (DPR) and Non-Uniformity Correction (NUC) capabilities eliminate the need for a separate dedicated board, allowing calibration of IR cameras/lenses. Video stabilization minimizes high-frequency jitter, particularly effective for correcting platform roll motion, making it easier to focus on objects. Frame-to-frame registration enables electronic stabilization of video, enhancing the viewer's experience.

Key analysis functions include telemetry data, object tracking, dual processing, detect and recognize, custom AI classifier, lens control, lens autofocus, precision landing, and HD video. Render functions encompass video display options, KLV/Metadata, dead pixel removal and non-uniformity correction, enhancement, IP encoding (H.264 and H.265) blending, recording/snapshot, stabilization and roll correction, and high bit depth processing.

SightLine's commitment to flexibility is evident in both software and hardware options, providing tailorable, powerful solutions to meet the unique needs of your system.
