Enhancing Border Clarity in Challenging Weather: The SightBooster Edge

The Visibility Challenge in Border Protection

For border protection units globally, upholding visual monitoring is essential. However, when visibility diminishes due to inclement weather—such as thick fog, sandstorms, dust clouds, heavy rainfall, or snow—surveillance technologies encounter substantial limitations. Smugglers, traffickers, and unauthorized border infiltrators are fully aware of this weakness, deliberately planning their activities during weather conditions that compromise security systems.

Why Weather Impacts Security Observation

• Opportunistic scenarios for offenders: Individuals attempting illegal border crossings strategically select moments during sandstorms, fog, and similar low-visibility situations
• Reduced surveillance efficiency: Traditional camera systems experience diminished detection range and clarity of detail when obscured by dust, sand, fog, or rain
• Operational response difficulties: Security personnel often spot threats too late when visibility is impaired, permitting border infringements before interception can occur
• Equipment constraints: Even though thermal imaging provides some benefits, it does not offer the detailed identification needed for evidence gathering and threat evaluation

SightBooster: Addressing Weather-Related Security Weaknesses

ThexoVision’s SightBooster technology delivers a software-based remedy that rejuvenates border security operations under adverse visibility conditions. This cost-effective solution:

• Improves visual fidelity in real-time from footage hampered by sandstorms, dust clouds, fog, and other environmental challenges
• Sustains effective surveillance coverage to ranges of 1km and more, facilitating early warning detection independent of weather circumstances
• Integrates with existing infrastructure including standard CCTV systems, thermal imaging devices, PTZ units, and drone-based surveillance platforms
• Facilitates proactive security measures by delivering clear images for coordinated responses before security boundaries are violated

Kazakhstan Border Deployment

In collaboration with TNS Service, SightBooster significantly improved standard PTZ camera footage amidst severe fog conditions. The technology converted almost unusable surveillance footage into detailed, actionable intelligence—maintaining visual clarity at distances of up to 1km.

UK Mobile Border Security Technology

SightBooster is currently enhancing Presidian® Smart Mobile Monitoring Stations launched by DJ Byers Security Solutions® across British border regions. These mobile surveillance units ensure officers retain situational awareness despite environmental hindrances.

Technological Principles: Clarity Without Compromise

ThexoVision adopts a balanced approach to technology integration in essential security applications:

• Core processing without AI intervention: SightBooster’s enhancement technology avoids AI-driven image reconstruction to prevent introducing fictitious details in security footage
• Compatible with AI analytics: When advantageous, SightBooster can integrate with AI systems for detection while preserving image integrity
• Versatile across various environments: The solution effectively tackles diverse visibility challenges—from dust and sandstorms to coastal fog, smoke, rain, and even nocturnal and underwater scenarios

Background of ThexoVision

Founded in 2019, ThexoVision melds expertise from distinct security and technical realms. The team consists of:

• Former counter-narcotics and military operations professionals
• Advanced computer vision and graphics specialists
• Leading experts in optical science and imaging technology

This fusion of real-world security experience and technological innovation has placed ThexoVision at the leading edge of environmental visibility enhancements.

Fortifying Borders Under All Circumstances

When environmental factors like sandstorms, dust clouds, or fog typically render surveillance systems ineffective, SightBooster equips border protection units with the visual advantage they need. By addressing one of border security’s most significant weaknesses—compromised visibility—patrols can now operate with notably greater confidence, irrespective of environmental challenges.
