Collision and Obstacle Avoidance
Discover cutting-edge solutions from 10 leading global suppliers
Casia is a computer vision-based UAV detect-and-avoid system that enables safe and reliable BVLOS operation. The combined hardware and software solution utilises state-of-the-art industrial cameras to provide full situational awareness to sense and detect obstacles and other aircraft. A sophisticated computing platform, based around the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 and proprietary intelligent algorithms, makes rapid real-time decisions and determines the safest course of action to avoid collisions.
Casia is a flexible, self-contained system with seamless plug-and-play capabilities that can be integrated into almost any UAV platform, including custom and COTS multirotor, fixed-wing, rotorcraft and hybrid drones. It is compatible with a wide range of UAV autopilots, including PX4, ArduPilot, and Cloud Cap Technology.
The system, featuring an ultra-low SWaP (size, weight and power) footprint, is modular and easily upgradeable, with configurable camera modules and a wide range of power inputs. Casia features multiple methods of integration, including bare-board and software-only options for maximum flexibility.
Casia is available in three variants: Standard, Long-Range, and the Casia 360 all-round field of view five-camera solution for maximal situational awareness. Casia 360 is the first commercially available 360-degree radial computer vision Detect-and-Avoid system for drones.
