DEFT (Deep Embedded Feature Tracking)

Defence systems designed and built by experts - Protect with Chess, Powered by Vision4ce DEFT is a real-time video tracking capability that harnesses the power of deep neural networks to help cope with challenging target tracking scenarios. Expertly designed to handle challenges like low target contrast, occlusion, background clutter, and high motion/size target dynamics, DEFT enables operators to automatically track targets for longer periods of time, minimizing the need for intervention.

Chess Air Defence

Our high-performance positioners, coupled with Electro Optics and Radar, can help our customers achieve full spectrum air defence and force protection. Our combat-proven technologies solve complex challenges for customers all over the world, and include systems and solutions for detection, tracking, location, and classification.

Classification in the Air - Drones

Chess Brand - Vision4ce offers both hardware and software solutions for video tracking. The DART (Detection and Acquisition, with Robust Tracking) video tracking product is a software based tracker that can run on either a Linux or Windows platform based on Intel or ARM processors.

DEFT (Deep Embedded Feature Tracking)

DEFT is our latest innovation in target tracking. It is a deep learning-based algorithm that provides accurate and robust tracking in complex situations. DEFT is able to track multiple targets simultaneously, even when they are partially occluded or moving rapidly.
