From Edge to Core to Cloud
Instant Visual Clarity™ can now be yours everywhere and anywhere. Available now and for the first time ever, ProHawk Vision™ 5.0 is untethered and able to run in the cloud and on your generic hardware. Options are available for embedding the full range of enhancement tools directly to devices, within your existing VMS or to ‘as a service’ via Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud or your private cloud.
Great Chips
Great Performance
Deliver real-time HD video enhancement by running ProHawk Vision in the cloud or on commercially available GPUs and CPUs and on a specialized field programable gate array (FPGA), an industry-leading latency of 16 microseconds (0.000016 seconds).
Cameras, Lasers and Sensors...
There’s more than one way to get a picture of what’s going on in the world around us. As humans we use sight, hearing, smell and touch to perceive the world, and our brains to collect and process inputs concurrently.
If we want computers to ‘see’ better than humans, they too will need to ingest and analyze an array of inputs. This is why we’ve developed ProHawk to process analog video, HD video, infrared, thermal, radar, LIDAR and numerous other image feeds concurrently, to deliver the most complete picture possible.
ProHawk Vision 5.0
Make Live Video Operational
Driven by powerful computer vision (CV) algorithms, ProHawk Vision dramatically enriches the quality of a live camera stream, or a live stream from leading Video Management Systems (VMS). ProHawk Vision fixes noisy, obscured, or unclear live video into sharp, clear video with intricate details. ProHawk Vision CV algorithms reveal each pixel influenced by surrounding pixels, while traditional products manipulate the full image. This produces live video that is intelligible and useable for humans, video analysis (VA), AI and CV.
Environment Problems Solved
Rain - Snow - Dirt - Fog - Sand - Water - Backlight - Low Light/Night - Headlight -
Bright Overcast - Sun Glare - Shadows
ProHawk Vision fixes problems that obstruct capturing good live video that stem from the environment. When live video is subject to difficult environments, problems fall into two categories: issues with light or lack of it; and issues with various sizes of suspended obstructive particles in the air or water called particulates.
ProHawk Vision 5.0 solves the problems that cause poor live video with a variety of new features, enhancements and upgrades to support a wider range of platforms, formats, and conditions. While continuing to offer the world’s first true live video improvement solution with unprecedented imagery details.
Live Video Sources
Sharp clear live video with no video lag or frame skipping from a camera or VMS using industry standards protocols. We provided the ability to add usernames and passwords authentication for live cameras and VMS’s to ensure secure access to any live video. No matter the source of your media, we’ve got you covered.
Expose Fine Details
Clearly see fine details to identify specific objects, situations, vehicles, and people. The powerful detail enhancement algorithm exposes fine details to detect small objects and see details that were not visible, even with good video. Faces, people, animals, objects, weapons, vehicles, and license plates can all be easily identified and exposed.
Sensor Coverage
Humid climates cause problems due to excessive amounts of rain and fog which limits sensor range and accuracy, along with the difficulties of sun glare. ProHawk Vision fixes more than poor color optical cameras, we increase the coverage range and accuracy of thermal sensors by 300% and infrared cameras by 500%.
Preset and Custom Filters
A wider range of one-click preset filters let users quickly and confidently reach enriched imagery in an efficient method. There are over 50 presets to help users reach actionable results fast for a wide range of difficult live video environments. Users can now create their own custom one-click preset filters based on their advanced filter settings. ProHawk improves poor low or high resolution live video interpreted by operators, VA, AI or CV.
Eliminate Effects of Motion
ProHawk Vision has a unique patented motion adaptation algorithm, which eliminates the adverse effects of objects in motion and moving cameras. This controls the residual image effect artifacts caused by movement or motion that eliminates annoying ghosting and ringing imagery.
Natural Color
ProHawk Vision’s effective patented color adjustment algorithm restores natural color representations caused by difficult environments. This restores natural full color recognition in low contrast situations, while eliminating color oversaturation situations. See clearly in low contrast fog, rain, and snow or high contrast lighting situations.
Superior Object Detection and Tracking
Object detection and tracking is now more powerful than ever, supercharged by ProHawk Vision’s patented CV algorithms that increase detection, raise confidence levels, and simply reveal what needs to be seen. Now you can

Make Live Video Operational
The New ProHawk Vision™ Software Developers Kit (SDK)
A library of powerful computer vision (CV) algorithms, which dramatically clarify and enrich the quality of images and live video. The ProHawk Vision SDK Application Programming Interfaces (API’s) fix noisy, obscured, or unclear images or live video into sharp, clear imagery, or live video with intricate details. This makes images and live video more intelligible and useable for humans, video analysis (VA), and computer vision.
Live Video Requires Low Latency
Live video and computer vision require industry leading 2-10ms low latency leveraging NVIDIA GPU’s or 16.6µs Xilinx FPGA’s to ensure there is no video lag or frame skipping for a camera or VMS. This enables ProHawk Vision to be embedded in devices such as: NVIDIA Jetson TX2 and AGX Xavier; Xilinx UltraScale+ MPSoC CG, EG, or EV devices.
