Eyes in the Sky

Jill is building the future of infrastructure protection — where drones see in spectrums we can't, AI thinks at the edge, and wildfires are detected before they can spread.

See What They See

An interactive simulation of drone-based sensing. Toggle between view modes to understand how LiDAR and hyperspectral imaging reveal what's invisible to the human eye.

The Technology Stack

📡

LiDAR Sensing

Light Detection and Ranging creates precise 3D maps of terrain and structures by measuring how long laser pulses take to return. It sees through smoke and darkness.

🌈

Hyperspectral Imaging

Beyond RGB — capturing hundreds of wavelengths across the electromagnetic spectrum. It detects heat signatures, vegetation stress, and chemical changes invisible to our eyes.

🤖

Edge AI Computing

Processing data on the drone itself, not in distant servers. Real-time detection with millisecond response times. The AI decides what matters before the data ever leaves the sky.

🔥

Wildfire Detection

Identifying fires in their earliest stages — often before visible flames appear. Thermal anomalies, smoke particulates, and vegetation changes trigger alerts automatically.

The Future Jill is Building

Imagine a world where critical infrastructure — power grids, bridges, pipelines, forests — is continuously monitored by intelligent systems that detect threats before disasters strike.

Early Detection

A drone detects a thermal anomaly near a power line — elevated temperatures suggesting a potential fault or fire risk. The AI flags it instantly.

Real-Time Analysis

Edge computing processes LiDAR and hyperspectral data on-board. No cloud latency. The system cross-references vegetation density, wind patterns, and infrastructure proximity.

Automated Response

Alerts reach response teams within seconds, not hours. Precise GPS coordinates, severity assessment, and recommended actions — all before smoke is visible to the human eye.

Infrastructure Protected

What could have been a catastrophic wildfire becomes a managed incident. Power stays on. Communities stay safe. The grid stays resilient.

The best time to detect a wildfire is before it starts. The best infrastructure is the kind that protects itself.
