Horus Blurring Beta Program

HORISON disrupts anonymization workflows

Horus & Celantur disrupted the process of anonymization, and tailored this for the mobile mapping industry needs! HORISON blurring delivers a fast, and cost-effective process to anonymize street-level imagery data including an on-premise workflow to process and anonymize street-level imagery data on the fly.

HORISON Blurring is the toolset anonymize entire cars and persons, or just the faces and license plates shown on recordings. You can perform this process with JPEG images or Ladybug PGR files.

You are invited as a Beta Tester

Horus invited industry experts in the mobile mapping industry to test and evaluate the new HORISON blurring functionality. And you are one of them!

In a 4 weeks time frame you will be able to evaluate HORISION blurring, installed on-premise at your own machine. You will have unlimited access and usage. You can use HORISON blurring free of charge during the evaluation period. And there are no additional costs involved. 

After the testing period we will send you a (short) evaluation questionnaire
