Absentia Technologies builds enactive AI, intelligence grounded in perception and action in the physical world, beginning with vision. Our first product, MYSTIC, restores degraded video in real time through fog, smoke, low light and glare, and it runs on the cameras a site already owns. MYSTIC models the physics of how fog, smoke and low light degrade an image and reverses that degradation, so it recovers detail the camera captured and never invents any. It also recognizes the objects in a scene and how they behave, which lets operators track and search footage by typing what they are looking for in plain language. We serve defense and ISR teams, along with commercial surveillance operators, who need to see clearly in the conditions where cameras fail most. For first-responders, military and teams whose footage can end up with police, investigators, or insurers.
