Remote Module

The Remote Module is an autonomous image acquisition system developed by Artificial Vision for temporary campaigns and mobile operations, without the need for fixed installation, continuous power supply, or permanent internet connectivity. Unlike Artificial Vision’s traditional systems (real-time processing with a high-performance computer and 220 V power), the Remote Module is designed to operate in the field without 3G/4G, continuously capturing data and storing it locally for later processing.

The system integrates eight 4K cameras arranged in four stereoscopic pairs, capturing synchronized images for post-processing. The information is stored on two onboard computers with a total capacity of 4 TB, enabling data recording for several days without any network connection. Power during acquisition is provided by a dedicated 48 V battery, and the whole setup is designed for compact installation on a vehicle roof rack.

For operational supervision, the Remote Module creates its own local Wi-Fi networks (raspberry01 and raspberry02) and provides a web-based monitoring interface (camera status, GPS, temperature, storage, capture activity, and restart/shutdown controls) accessible through a browser.

Upon returning to a location with available Wi-Fi (substation, hangar, or base), the system automatically synchronizes the data to a remote processing workstation, where post-processing is performed and results are published in a web reporting environment equivalent to Artificial Vision’s standard systems. During acquisition, coordinates are automatically recorded via an integrated GPS antenna.
