Overview
An operator watching a live feed for hours will miss things; that is a property of people, not of training. Detection that runs continuously does not get tired, and its job is to raise what is worth a human look.
The model runs on the aircraft or on a small processor beside the operator, so nothing depends on a link back to a server. Detections carry a class, a confidence and a track identity that persists as the subject moves, and can drive the sensor to keep a subject centred.
System qualities
01 / 04
On the aircraft, not in a cloud
Inference happens where the camera is. There is no upload, no latency penalty and no dependence on a link that may not exist.
02 / 04
Tracks, not just detects
A subject keeps its identity across frames, through partial occlusion, so a count is a count rather than a repeated detection.
03 / 04
Drives the sensor
A selected track can command the gimbal, keeping the subject centred while the aircraft flies its own task.
04 / 04
Raises, does not decide
Output is a flagged detection for a person to judge. The system does not take an action on its own.
