SpotlightAI ONSITE Enables Real-Time Threat Detection of 150+ Types of Landmines and Unexploded Ordnance in Drone Imagery Supporting Forward Operations
AVENTURA, Fla. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — December 12, 2024 — Safe Pro Group Inc. (Nasdaq: SPAI) (“Safe Pro” or the “Company”), a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions specializing in drone imagery processing, today announced that its Artificial Intelligence subsidiary, Safe Pro AI, has introduced SpotlightAI™ ONSITE its latest real-time automatic mine detection software designed for use with virtually any drone. The Microsoft Windows-based AI-powered drone imagery analysis software is currently undergoing real-world testing in Ukraine.
Key Features and Benefits of SpotlightAI™ ONSITE include:
- Accurate Real-Time Results: Powered by Safe Pro’s propriety machine learning model dataset of over 100,000 real-world labeled images of landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO), SpotlightAI™ ONSITE leverages the power of local/Edge computing and Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) drones to enable real-time analysis of collected imagery on Windows-based portable computers, without the need to upload to the cloud.
- Simple to Install and Use: Once installed on the user’s laptop computer which is then physically connected to a drone’s remote controller, imagery can be streamed and processed locally by SpotlightAI™ ONSITE’s artificial intelligence engine.
- Compatible with Popular Mapping Applications: Objects of interest are rapidly identified by AI and can be displayed in a variety of common, NATO-compliant mapping applications as well as Google Earth.
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud Compatible: At the users’ request, SpotlightAI™ ONSITE can automatically connect to the SpotlightAI™ ecosystem enabling hyperscale compute features including the generation of sub-centimeter-level, high resolution 2D and enhanced interactive 3D maps.
“SpotlightAI™ ONSITE is a significant enhancement to our AI-powered drone imagery analysis ecosystem and one of the most requested features sought by end users in Ukraine who require actionable intelligence for route planning, resupply and medevac operations for the safe movement of personnel and assets in hostile environments. By leveraging data processing on readily available laptop computers, we are enabling customers to automatically process drone imagery in real-time without an internet connection, a critical consideration for a wide array of field operations,” said Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group Inc. “Over the past two years, driven by real-world usage in Ukraine, we have greatly enhanced the capabilities and value of our patented SpotlightAI™ platform and are especially grateful for the support and trust that our stakeholders are placing in our technology as they seek to eliminate the threat of landmines and protect human lives.”
The recently patented SpotlightAI™ technology is currently in operation in Ukraine with multiple humanitarian mine action organizations including the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and government entities. SpotlightAI™ has now processed over 921,471 images, analyzed over 12,901 GB of data and identified over 16,540 real-world landmines and unexploded ordnance in Ukraine. Real-world landmine detection statistics from Ukraine can be found at the Company’s Real-World Landmine Detection Counter at https://safeproai.com/landmine-detections/.
Compatible with COTS drones including those made by Skydio, Inc., Safe Pro’s patented SpotlightAI™ software ecosystem utilizes advanced machine learning (ML) models for small object detection and data reporting built on an extensive proprietary dataset capable of rapidly identifying and locating 150+ types of land mines and UXO. Operating locally for rapid object detection and locating, or through the hyper scalability of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud, SpotlightAI™ can process massive amounts of sub-centimeter-level drone imagery, providing customers with unique flexibility based on evolving operational needs. Enhanced with the hyper scalability of the AWS cloud, SpotlightAI™ can securely generate detailed, high-resolution orthomosaic maps highlighting objects of interest that can plot detection results on customizable, GPS-tagged, sub-centimeter-level, high resolution 2D and enhanced, interactive 3D maps. These maps can provide a “bird’s-eye view” of the surveyed area, delivering enhanced situational awareness for planning clearing and land release efforts by local governments and humanitarian aid organizations.
