Image and Video
Pixels for fast decision-making
Our teams develop hardware and software solutions forreal-time analysis of image and video data. Initially developed for the French army, our technologies now benefit civilian security forces, as well as any actor needing to intervene rapidly and in a targeted manner over large or difficult-to-access geographical areas.
Technology that efficiently meets your needs
Image processing
We develop data enhancement algorithms (e.g. image quality enhancement, software stabilization, anonymization, etc.).
Georeferencing
Our technologies are built on Magellium Artal Group's longstanding expertise in sensor geometry and digital geography, enabling optimal georeferencing of data.
Detection
Detecting changes, defects, objects, targets or postures, our solutions can extract all kinds of information from images or videos. We draw on our advanced expertise in image processing and artificial intelligence.
Real time
Our technology offers real-time video streaming capabilities, adapted to the target operational platforms.

Robotics and 3D Simulation
From simulation to robotics in constrained environments
For over 15 years, our teams have been developing expertise in perception for planetary exploration robotics. This work has enabled us to contribute to renowned missions such as Rosalind Franklin Mission (formerly EXOMARS), Rosetta and MMX.
Today, we put our skills at the service of any critical robotics application requiring consideration of a complex or hostile environment (robotics in orbit, terrestrial navigation without GNSS, etc.). To achieve this, we deploy our robotic simulation solutions to create a digital twin of your system.
Comprehensive know-how for autonomous robotics missions
Perception and localisation
Our expertise in the field of heterogeneous data fusion for vision-based localisation has enabled us to develop high-performance relative and absolute localization solutions for complex environments that are not dependent on GNSS signals.
2D and 3D mapping
Our mastery of 3D data (LIDAR, Stereovision) enables us to offer a precise representation of a robot's environment, from the generation of 2.5D Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) to the complete representation of 3D environments.
3D processing and detection
We bring our skills in semantic analysis of the environment through terrain classification components for autonomous navigation, and object detection, recognition and tracking for more dynamic environments.
Simulation and Digital Twin
We are developing a solution to simulate a complex robotic environment to assist the end-user in sizing and designing a robotic mission. This tool can also be deployed as a digital twin to monitor operations in progress.

FAQ
Do you offer turnkey solutions?
Yes, we offer not only a complete set of software functions, but also integrated, packaged solutions. This guarantees easy implementation and an optimised platform tailored to specific algorithms and operating conditions.
How are you positioned in the AI field?
Our approach to artificial intelligence at Magellium is unique. With over a decade of expertise, we distinguish ourselves by our pragmatic vision: instead of relying on massive data accumulation, we prioritise the rapid development of optimised neural networks. These networks are finely tuned to specific operational needs, even when data volumes are limited.
Can your functions be integrated into third-party software?
Absolutely. To meet the needs of certain customers without complicating user interfaces, we offer the possibility of integrating our functional suite seamlessly into our customers' software ecosystems.
What computing capacities are required?
Computing capacity requirements vary according to the number of functions to be operated simultaneously. We offer low-resource embedded solutions, ideal for integration as close as possible to the acquired signal, while minimising power consumption. For laboratory processing, we can dimension workstations to eliminate any limitations linked to the number of algorithms or sampling frequency.
Do you only process video data?
No, our expertise extends far beyond video. We specialise in analysing data from a variety of sensors, including Lidar, hyperspectral, IR and others. We georeference these data and process them using state-of-the-art technologies. Although visible video is frequently used in our systems, it is only one of several data sources we exploit.
Do you have any question?
We'll get back to you as quickly as the satellite data takes to reach the operator.
