Penetrating Foliage with Optical Sectioning
HeliousAI's airborne optical sectioning (AOS) reveals the previously invisible, extracting actionable intelligence through dense forest canopies.
Tactical Clarity Over Concealment
The real threat for our forces doesn't come from what's visible, it comes from what remains hidden. Dense canopy, rough terrain, urban clutter, and enemy camouflage routinely defeat conventional surveillance, leaving even advanced platforms struggling to identify real risks. Classic sensors create a wall of surface-level thermal "noise," letting mission-critical dangers go undetected.
"It is still difficult to detect targets hidden inside vegetation, mainly owing to low detection and high false alarm, especially in dense foliage/vegetated terrain."
"Tree canopy limits animal detection in wildlife surveys with a thermal drone. Detectability is proportional to the percentage of ground visible from the air.”
"Target camouflage, decoys, and natural concealment continuously degrade the performance of traditional EO/thermal imaging, requiring fusion of multiple sensor modalities to achieve robust detection."
