ideaForge and Fractal to launch AI powered drones

ideaForge has announced its partnership with Fractal. Both organizations will combine their technological prowess to develop an integrated AI-powered drone solution that will be deployed at scale in defence, homeland security and enterprise applications. 

The solution will use Fractal’s image and video analytics technology to analyze real-time HD video stream from ideaForge drones to generate insights that will empower security forces to make tactical and strategic decisions without risking the lives of personnel. The solution can be deployed at scale to detect, recognize and track people and objects. This will be particularly useful in anti-terror operations, border security, counterinsurgency, crowd monitoring, forest and wildlife conservation, crime control, traffic management, facility surveillance, construction, railways and disaster management to name a few.
