Sightline Intelligence

Sightline Intelligence develops real-time video processing software and hardware for onboard processing within unmanned systems in the civil, commercial and military sectors.

Our high-performance compact video processing systems are ideal for integration into unmanned vehicles serving a wide variety of end uses, including Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR), environmental surveying, infrastructure inspection, and agricultural mapping.

Onboard video processing brings a wide range of benefits to airborne unmanned vehicles, such as low latency feedback for gimbal control and landing guidance, a full digital video path, and low requirements for Size, Weight and Power (SWaP).

Video Processing Boards

Embedded onboard video processors for camera systems on drones, UAV and UVG

Our flexible and configurable embedded video processing boards provide powerful edge processing for real-time application in unmanned systems.  Operating at the source, Sightline processors deliver low-latency performance and exceptional video quality.

Our latest generation ARM processors are Sightline’s newest and most powerful hardware options. They provide higher performance, lower power, and enhanced user integration options.
