How It Works

Four stages.
One real-time pipeline.

From raw frames to crack events in under 5ms. No cloud lookups. No GPU warm-up.

1

Ingest

Accept frames via RTSP, RTMP, or direct push API. The engine ingests at up to 30fps from drone camera feeds or pre-recorded video streams.

2

Spike-Frequency Encoding

Frame deltas are converted into spike trains using biologically-inspired encoding. Regions of structural interest generate high-frequency spikes; flat surfaces are suppressed.

3

Multi-Lane Neuromorphic Scoring

Six parallel STDP lanes process the spike stream independently. Each lane fires on a distinct crack morphology — hairline, spall, corrosion, delamination. Scores fuse into a single risk scalar.

4

Events & API Out

Every frame emits a structured FRAME_LOG event: crack score, risk score, ROI bounding box, and lane breakdown. Consumed via C++ callback, Python binding, or WebSocket stream.

Why Neuromorphic?

Not YOLO. Not UNet.
Something that runs on the drone.

YOLO and UNet need a GPU and a clean frame. Infrastructure drones don't have either. Neuromorphic spike-frequency encoding was designed for exactly this constraint.

What matters YOLO / UNet AuraSense Neuromorphic
P95 detection latency 15–80 ms <5 ms
Runs without GPU ✗ GPU required ✓ CPU-only
Power draw (embedded) 15–45 W <8 W — longer flight time
Frame compression None — raw pixels streamed 17× via spike encoding
Crack F1 (in-flight conditions) ~76% >89%
Deployment target Cloud or edge GPU server Drone SBC, no infra changes
Adapts in the field Retrain + redeploy STDP live weight updates
Codec Technology

Neuromorphic codec.
Crack details preserved. 94% less bandwidth.

Incoming drone frames are converted into spike-frequency representations that capture structural anomalies — hairline cracks, spalls, delamination — with dramatically reduced data volume. The codec preserves the geometry needed for scoring while discarding perceptually redundant pixels, enabling real-time perception at under 8 W on embedded hardware.

About AuraSense

Built in Hong Kong.
Focused on one hard problem.

AuraSense is a Hong Kong-based deep-tech startup building the neuromorphic perception engine for drone-based infrastructure inspection — the part that converts raw frames into crack decisions in real time, on-device.

We are an SDK provider, not an inspection service. Our goal: make real-time neuromorphic crack detection as easy to integrate as a camera driver. You bring the drone. We bring the brain.

Neuromorphic-first

STDP-based spike encoding, not fine-tuned CNNs.

SDK, not service

C++ engine + Python bindings. You integrate; you own.

Real-time first

P95 <5ms. Hard latency constraint, not a soft goal.

On-prem by default

No telemetry. No cloud call-home. All inference stays local.

Licensing

Simple pricing.
Pick your fleet size.

All plans include the full SFSVC SDK, C++/Python bindings, and STDP runtime. No GPU. No cloud fees. No lock-in.
