Edge Processing for Time-Critical Intelligence
Tiepoint’s edge computing platform delivers fast, onboard AI analysis from the air — giving mission teams access to real-time classification, detection, and mapping without waiting for post-processing. Whether operating from multirotors, fixed-wing drones, or ground stations, our edge platform keeps your insight close to the action.
It’s sensor-agnostic, fully integratable, and built for both manned and unmanned aircraft. From object tagging to dynamic map generation, we bring intelligence to where it matters most: on the edge.


Tiepoint Edge Computer
The Tiepoint Edge Computer is a compact, high-performance processing unit designed for deployment in demanding operational environments. It enables real-time detection, segmentation, and tagging directly from airborne or mobile platforms — eliminating the need for cloud connectivity or post-mission processing. Built for low-latency performance, it supports custom AI models, sensor-agnostic integration, and mission-specific workflows, and can be easily integrated into legacy systems with minimal configuration. Whether installed onboard a drone, vessel, or ground station, it’s an essential tool for time-critical decision-making.
Mission-Tailored AI Models
We don’t believe in off-the-shelf AI. Tiepoint trains custom models based on real-world mission needs — whether it’s recognizing humans during SAR, tagging marine debris during spill operations, or flagging vehicles and structures for infrastructure mapping. Our extensive database of flight-collected imagery accelerates development and improves field performance.
In missions where new targets or changing conditions arise, models can be retrained and redeployed fast, ensuring your detection layer stays relevant, accurate, and mission-aligned.

On-Demand Recording & Upgrade
Our edge platform supports AI-driven video clipping and annotation, with the ability to store key detections for later review, training, or reporting. Need to upgrade your detection model during an operation? No problem — our architecture allows for seamless model updates, so you’re never stuck with old logic.
Built for Operational Impact
- Real-Time Awareness: Get AI insight seconds after detection — not hours later at a workstation.
- Offline Capable: Keep operating even in low-bandwidth environments like remote coastlines or at sea.
- Flexible Integration: Deploy from fixed-wing, multirotor, or vehicle-based systems with ease.
- Human-in-the-loop Ready: Combine automated detection with operator tagging or intervention as needed.

Edge processing isn’t just smart — it’s decisive. Get insight while it still matters, where it matters most.

Environmental Monitoring at the Edge
Our edge units also support automated classification for environmental operations — identifying marine litter, classifying slicks, and mapping sensitive zones from the air. These insights are georeferenced and ready for integration with GIS and operational tools.
We support both live detection and batch export workflows, depending on your operational model.
Deliverables Include:
- Real-Time AI Tagging: Detect people, vessels, wildlife, debris, and infrastructure objects
- Georeferenced Classifications: Outputs for live map overlay, WMS, KML or integration with COPs
- Retrainable Models: Update AI logic during operations with mission-specific datasets
- Operator Review Mode: Let humans confirm, override or tag detections in real-time
Get real-time intelligence without waiting for downloads, uploads, or post-flight review. With Tiepoint Edge Processing, you get decisions at the speed of action — in the air, in the field, and in sync with your mission.
