The client, operating in the Space Tech & Defense sector, required a high-performance event detection system capable of analyzing continuous video streams from satellites, drones, and ground-based surveillance systems.
Traditional cloud-based processing approaches were not viable due to latency, bandwidth limitations, and mission-critical reliability requirements. The client needed an edge-first AI solution that could detect anomalies, movements, and critical events in real time while operating efficiently in constrained environments.
The objective was to build a low-latency, energy-efficient, and highly accurate event detection system that could function autonomously and integrate seamlessly with existing defense infrastructure.
We designed and developed an AI-powered event detection platform optimized for edge deployment using neuromorphic computing (Akida BrainChip) and high-performance C++ inference.
AI-Based Event Detection: Deep learning models were trained to detect events such as object movement, intrusion, anomaly patterns, and environmental changes. Computer Vision techniques enabled real-time frame analysis and object tracking across multiple input streams.
Neuromorphic Edge Deployment: To meet strict power and latency requirements, models were optimized and deployed on Akida BrainChip, enabling ultra-low power consumption and high-speed inference directly on edge devices.
High-Performance C++ Inference Engine: A custom-built C++ engine ensured efficient memory usage and real-time processing of video streams, significantly reducing inference latency and enabling deterministic performance.
Edge Architecture & Integration: The system was designed with an edge-first architecture, allowing local processing and decision-making without reliance on constant connectivity. Integration with external defense systems was enabled via secure APIs.
Model Optimization & Scalability: Techniques such as quantization, pruning, and ONNX conversion were used to optimize models for deployment across different hardware configurations while maintaining high accuracy.
