Sentient's automatic target-detection plug-in strengthens intelligence reporting capabilities for Mediaware's D-VEX end-to-end video-exploitation system.

General Dynamics Mediaware and Sentient Vision Systems Pty Ltd. have created a technical partnership which combines Sentient's Kestrel Land and Maritime target-detection software with General Dynamics Mediaware's D-VEX next-generation tactical video-exploitation system.

This plug-in feature provides surveillance system operators and analysts with improved real-time situational awareness and strengthens post-mission forensic analysis and intelligence reporting.

D-VEX is a video-exploitation system that captures and manages full-motion video, providing operators with intuitive tools for enhancing, streamlining and analyzing live and recorded video. When coupled with Sentient's Kestrel real-time automatic detection software, which allows users to identify small, hard-to-find moving targets in electro-optical and infrared aerial live video streams, mission operators and analysts can quickly transform raw video data into actionable intelligence. Leveraging the companies' extensive experience in advanced full-motion video, the combined systems simplify the post-mission forensic analysis of video.

This product collaboration with Sentient's automated detection and D-VEX's intelligent video technology enables customers to extract significant value from the large volumes of full motion video captured from sensors deployed in the field.
