Chess Dynamics, part of the Cohort Group, has developed a new version of its Vision4ce CHARM video processing hardware, the CHARM-150OGX, and will launch it at the DSEI exhibition in London in September 2025 with an unnamed launch customer.
Speaking at a media event in London on 11 June Owen Sogeler, Vision4ce sales manager, told Janes that Vision4ce provides âthe intelligence that sits behind the wider Chess product portfolioâ, with image and video processing software that offers âdetection, tracking, and classification of threatsâ, together with the hardware to host it.
He said that ultra-low latency closed-loop tracking is âexactly what you want to track fast-moving threats such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) whose appearance and scale can change dramatically at speedâ. This can confuse tracking systems, he said, adding that occlusion in a cluttered environment such as among trees also adds to the tracking challenge.
Sogeler said that the CHARM-150OGX, which is âthe size of two business cards stuck togetherâ provides edge processing, incorporates the latest Nvidia chipset, and is designed to handle large amounts of data at the lowest possible latency. It can also fuse different electro-optic (EO) data streams, including thermal and infrared.
