Advanced Technology Platform

TarmacView turns drone video into ICAO, EASA or FAA-grade PAPI measurements with cutting-edge computer vision. The processing runs where your airport needs it, on-site on a local network or on the AWS cloud, so connectivity and data rules never hold up an inspection.

Deployment

Two ways to run it. One report.

The same computer-vision core runs entirely on the airfield or on AWS. The airport picks the model that fits its connectivity and data rules, and the measurement, the tolerances and the report do not change.

Model 01

On-site local network

The field laptop serves a local network on the airfield. Capture, processing and report all happen there, and nothing leaves the airport.

Internet Not required

Computation On the field laptop, served to the local network

Data path Drone → field hub over the airfield network → laptop. No SD cards, no egress.

Hardware Any modern laptop, no dedicated GPU or workstation

Best for Airfields with no or limited connectivity, and airports whose rules keep data on site

Model 02

AWS cloud

Footage uploads over whatever link the airport has. Heavy computation runs on managed AWS infrastructure, with history kept across campaigns.

Internet 4G / 5G, WiFi or any link

Computation AWS, 3D reconstruction and historical trend analysis at scale

Data path Drone → field hub → laptop → encrypted upload to AWS

Hardware The same laptop, nothing heavier, the compute is remote

Best for Airports that want managed scale, RBAC/MFA access and trends across inspections

Same output Either model produces the same regulatory-grade report, built to ICAO, EASA or FAA tolerances, with the same photo and video evidence, within minutes of the last pass.

Which one is yours?

No usable internet at the airfield? Run on-site, on the local network

Want managed scale and inspection history? Run on the AWS cloud

Both end in the same regulatory-grade report. Not sure yet? Talk to us, deployment is agreed per airport.

Deployment is agreed per airport, and TarmacView is not tied to a single hosting shape.

Core Technologies

Cutting-edge innovations powering our PAPI inspection platform

Advanced Computer Vision

Our platform employs state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms to process high-resolution video data with unprecedented accuracy. Using advanced machine learning techniques, we detect light sources, calculate centroids with sub-pixel precision, and analyze color spectra in real-time, achieving measurement accuracy that exceeds traditional methods.

Intelligent User Interface

Our modern, responsive interface is designed for aviation professionals. Whether you're planning a mission on a tablet in the field or analyzing reports on a desktop in the office, the application adapts seamlessly to your workflow, providing intuitive controls and real-time feedback at every step.

Minimal Requirements

No Special Hardware Needed

The field side of TarmacView runs on the equipment a crew already carries. No workstation in a van, no rendering rig, no dependency on the airfield having good internet. Our operators plan and dispatch from a laptop at the apron, and the heavy processing happens after the flight rather than during it.

See recommended drones

Any Professional Drone.: Works with any professional drone that can capture high-resolution video, with the best measurement quality on the DJI Enterprise platforms listed on our PAPI product page. No proprietary hardware required.
Basic Laptop.: Any modern laptop will do, with no high-end GPU or processing power needed in the field.
Field-Hub Auto-Transfer.: The field hub pulls footage off the drone automatically over the airfield network, so there are no SD cards to carry and processing starts right away.

Enterprise Features

Built for integration and security, and available on demand. Tell us what your deployment needs and we'll tailor these, or build new ones for you, after we talk.

REST API: Full programmatic access to inspection data, allowing seamless integration with your existing Airport Maintenance Management Systems (AMMS).
Secure Auth: On the AWS cloud model, enterprise-grade role-based access control (RBAC) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) protect sensitive airport data.
Data Export: Export raw measurement data and processed reports in multiple formats (JSON, CSV, PDF) for external analysis.
