Absentia Technologies

Absentia Technologies is a software company that builds AI for video. Its main product is MYSTIC. The site describes MYSTIC as an ISR platform, which means intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. The site names Andrew Ferguson as CEO and CTO and Emanouil Angelov as COO and CMO.

MYSTIC cleans up video taken in bad conditions. The site says it works through fog, smoke, low light, glare and heat shimmer. It also corrects vibration blur. The site says it runs on edge hardware and responds in under 50 milliseconds.

The site says MYSTIC installs as software on cameras, drones and sensors that are already in place. It says no new hardware is needed. Users can ask questions about a feed in plain language. The software can also detect and track objects across frames.

The site lists results from its own tests. These include a 75 percent gain in clarity under degraded conditions and 90 percent detection and tracking accuracy. The site also says the company received an NVIDIA Innovation Lab grant and joined NVIDIA's Inception Program.

The site names ports, borders, airports, commercial perimeters and night security as target uses. It invites partners in ISR, sensor technology and defense. The site has a waitlist sign up, a LinkedIn page and an X account. It lists no phone number or street address.
