Haivision adds Shield AI object detection to its Kraken platform

The latest version of Kraken video processing platform from Haivision objects incorporates Sentient Tracker software from Shield AI, providing full motion video and AI-enabled object detection for ISR applications.

Haivision has announced the availability of the latest version of its Kraken video processing platform which includes Shield AI object detection. It brings the power of artificial intelligence to metadata processing and full-motion video.

Designed for applications intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and situational awareness, Kraken codifica, transcodes and transports high-quality video and metadata in real time, even in environments with unpredictable or limited network bandwidth. Kraken's latest update includes a new option: Sentient Tracker de Shield AI, an artificial intelligence-based software for object detection in multi-domain operations.

Tracker uses artificial intelligence and two decades of research and development in computer vision to detect moving objects in video, Turning raw data into actionable intelligence quickly and efficiently. Can detect moving objects on ground, such as vehicles and people, and in maritime environments, static and moving targets, like boats, boats, individuals and life jackets.

Kraken's advanced capabilities enable real-time transcoding of live video streams to ensure compatibility with downstream systems, while carrying essential metadata, such as object detection and tracking information, inside the full motion video streaming (FMV).

By integrating with Shield AI Tracker software, the solution can Automatically detect and track objects in live video captured by manned or unmanned aircraft operating in complex land and sea environments. Subsequent systems can use the video combined with tracking information, either as a tracking frame overlay or as input to common operational imaging tools such as TAK or ATAK.

On the whole, These capabilities optimize the ISR workflow, enabling faster, more informed decision-making in mission-critical operations.

“The latest version of Kraken with Tracker incorporates the best tracking algorithms from Shield AI to FMV in real time, allowing AI-enabled insights into your streams anywhere Kraken can run: in specially designed hardware on the tactical edge, on servers in the data center or in the cloud”, explains John Leipper, Haivision defense product manager.

“We are excited to collaborate with Haivision to integrate our advanced AI object detection technology into their Kraken video processing software., defense certificate, states Christian Gutierrez, VP of Hivemind Engineering at Shield AI. “By combining Tracker with Haivision’s trusted ISR video ecosystem, “We enable customers to seamlessly apply AI into their existing video workflows for faster, more informed decision-making.”.

Kraken is a key solution in Haivision's ISR video solutions portfolio, which includes the Kraken X1 Rugged video transcoder, he coder Makito X4, he Makito X1 Rugged video encoder and the reproductor ISR Haivision Play. These products comply with cybersecurity and interoperability standards for use within defense networks.
