Why Multispectral Imaging Needed a Rethink

Conventional multispectral imaging solutions are expensive, bulky, and resolution‑limited—forcing users to choose between image detail and budget.

Antares removes that compromise.

How Antares is Different

Patented Optical Architecture

A high‑performance CMOS sensor paired with swappable, custom optical filters delivers native resolution in every spectral band.

On‑board FPGA Edge Processing

Run AI/ML models in real time, right on the device, with low latency.

Modular by Design

Change filters in seconds to target new materials or wavelengths, no new hardware required.

Why Antares

Feature

Antares

Conventional Multispectral Cameras

Cost-Effectiveness

Affordable components and modular filters dramatically reduce total system cost.

High upfront cost limits scalability and broad adoption.

Scalability

Modular design supports easy expansion with additional cameras and filters.

Expansion is costly and often requires complex integration.

Spatial Resolution

Retains full native resolution per band using high-res sensors and filters.

Resolution per band is typically lower due to demosaicing or scanning methods.

Flexibility

Interchangeable filters enable rapid adaptation to new use cases.

Changing spectral bands may require new hardware or factory modifications.

Edge Processing & AI

On-device FPGA processing supports low-latency inference and real-time analytics.

Typically reliant on external units, adding latency and infrastructure complexity.

Developer Support

Comes with an SDK and access to our R&D team for tailored solutions.

Basic SDKs and limited support for customization.
