Why VigilCV

Built for the demands of production ML

223µs Pre-flight

Pure NumPy Laplacian variance and Shannon entropy computed in microseconds on CPU. Zero GPU warmup.

Zero Silent Failures

Hard raises on corrupt JPEG headers, truncated files, and extreme exposure clipping before any model call.

54D Drift Detection

Wasserstein-1 (EMD) and unbiased MMD (RBF kernel) over spatial color moments — no CNN backbone needed.

CPU-First Design

Vectorized NumPy and SciPy operations. Works on serverless, edge inference, and CI runners with no CUDA.

Stream-Ready

audit_stream() generator wraps any OpenCV or GStreamer frame loop with sub-millisecond overhead.

Typed & Tested

Full mypy strict typing, 95% test coverage, ruff-formatted. Production-grade from day one.

Live Interactive Demo

Drop any image. See it analyzed in milliseconds.

This playground runs the exact same heuristics as VisionSentinel — pure client-side, zero server round-trips.

Performance

223µs. The fastest gate in the pipeline.

Single-image pre-flight latency on a standard 4-core CPU (512×512 px, NumPy backend). No GPU, no ONNX runtime, no batching required.
