Kestrel video surveillance software gets upgrade

Sentient has released an upgraded version of its Kestrel video surveillance software.

Kestrel 4.0 reduces processing requirements by up to 50 percent, according to a Sentient news release. Kestrel analyzes video imagery to spot moving objects on land and sea.

"The impact for the many hundreds of our customer[s] is huge," said Sentient business development director Simon Olsen. "Size, weight and power are always key concerns for our customers. This upgrade allows our ground based customers to operate Kestrel on much smaller, and therefore more mobile, ground processing systems. In the air it means small form factor processing chips, rather than heavy boxes."
