La Tribune examines Prophesee’s strategic shift toward counter-drone and defense applications, including Mantara and the company’s move toward more complete application-focused solutions.
Prophesee announces Mantara, the first fully integrated drone detection and tracking system built natively on event-based vision and AI, together with Hearth, its new software platform, and a €20M fundraise led by Critical Path Ventures.
FrenchWeb covers Prophesee’s €20 million fundraising, the launch of Mantara and Prophesee’s position within the emerging European market for counter-drone and defense technologies.
This paper highlighted at CVPR 2025 presents EBS-EKF, an event-based star tracking algorithm combining a novel star centroiding method with an extended Kalman filter. Evaluated on real night-sky data using a Prophesee EVK4-HD event camera synchronized with a space-ready APS star tracker, the method demonstrates improved accuracy, higher-frequency updates and greater motion tolerance for spacecraft attitude estimation.
This paper investigates the performance of event-based vision sensors under adverse weather conditions relevant to ADAS applications. Through controlled tests across varying rainfall rates, fog visibility levels, ambient light, and target distances, the study evaluates how rain and fog affect sensor output and shows how camera settings can help mitigate rain-related effects.
