Technology Overview
Skyline Nav AI has developed an innovative and patented technology, called Skyline Match AI™️, that leverages computer vision algorithms and reference datasets to navigate and position effectively without relying on GPS, cellular or Wi-Fi. Our solution allows you to confidently operate in urban canyons, and in environments where GPS may be degraded or entirely absent. Our technology excels in its ability to find initial positions and navigate effectively by scanning the terrain and identifying discernible skylines. This unique capability provides a robust foundation for a wide range of autonomy applications on the edge.
Our technology helps military and non-military personnel who want to navigate in a GPS-degraded/spoofed environment through the use of visualization of terrain features. Our tech can be combined with inertial, GNSS and SLAM for even better position and navigation results.
Input Data
Skyline Match AI uses real-time images of skylines and terrain features captured by the user's device.
Reference Datasets
It compares these images against a precomputed and preprocessed reference dataset, including data from sources like NGA GRiD and Maxar.
Pixel-by-Pixel Analysis
The system conducts a pixel-by-pixel analysis to match the captured features with the reference data.
Output
The result is precise geolocation data, providing latitude and longitude within 5 meters of accuracy 95% of the time, even in GPS-deprived environments.
Multiple Use Cases
From handheld applications, ground vehicles, autonomous vehicles to space rovers, Skyline Nav AI's technology lets you navigate in all scenarios
Wake-Up Robot
We have solved the wake-up robot computer vision problem on the edge, without needing satellite, wi-fi or cellular connectivity.
Constant Learning
AI-enablement, continuous learning, multi-sensor and data fusion allows the tech to constantly train in new and austere environments
High Precision + Accuracy
Don't just rely on GPS and paper maps for position and navigation. Skyline Nav AI's visual and inertial based platform is a powerful alternative!
About the Invention
A novel method to visually position a person or vehicle in a complex environments on land, air, sea and space composed of buildings, mountains, coastline, suburban regions, rural areas, trees, craters and others. An initial localization of a person or vehicle which has no prior knowledge of its position can be made.
Technology Verification
We have built an iOS app, Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) plugin for the TAK platform and an API/SDK. We have done extensive demonstration of the technology in multiple regions around the world. Check out the results here.
