Our Jetson Computer Vision Solutions

RidgeRun is recognized as a top NVIDIA Jetson partner for embedded computer vision engineering. We’ve built solutions involving TensorRT, DeepStream, GStreamer, CUDA, PVA, and custom camera drivers across Orin, Xavier, and Thor platforms. The examples below highlight our real-world Jetson solutions—including multi-camera 360° vision, video stabilization, advanced analytics, and high-performance AI pipelines. Here are some examples of our computer vision solutions for Jetson:

360-Vision Systems

Many robotics, automotive, and industrial-safety products built on NVIDIA Jetson rely on 360° vision capabilities for reliable situational awareness. RidgeRun provides industry-proven software and engineering services for real-time, low-latency 360° vision — including multi-camera image stitching, bird’s-eye (top-down) perception, lens undistortion, and spherical PTZ video processing — all fully optimized for the entire Jetson family. The image below shows one of our bird’s-eye view results running in a real-world environment. Our 360-Vision systems can achieve real-time processing for 1920x1080@30 fps camera streams, with latencies below the 500 ms.

Video Stabilization

Real-world Jetson systems often experience vibration, sudden movement, or platform instability that can degrade image quality and reduce the accuracy of downstream perception algorithms. RidgeRun provides real-time video stabilization fully optimized for NVIDIA Jetson — delivering smooth, high-quality video streams that remain reliable even in the most demanding environments.

The example below illustrates RidgeRun’s real-time, software-based stabilization running on the Jetson platform, correcting vibration and motion to deliver smooth, high-quality video in challenging environments. We have achieved stabilization processing times as low as 5.65 ms for 4K videos on Orin AGX.


Software-Based Camera Synchronization

Multi-camera Jetson systems rely on precise synchronization to ensure consistent timestamps, accurate perception, and reliable downstream analytics. RidgeRun provides software-based camera stream synchronization solutions to align multi-camera frames based on timestamp powered by our GStreamer Buffer Synchronization technology and fully optimized for NVIDIA Jetson.

The example below demonstrates RidgeRun’s software-based video synchronization on NVIDIA Jetson, aligning multiple video streams in real time using our GStreamer Buffer Synchronization technology.


Our Jetson EdgeAI Expertise

RidgeRun brings deep expertise in deploying advanced AI workloads on NVIDIA Jetson—from custom TensorRT-optimized models to full DeepStream reference designs. We build fast, reliable, production-ready EdgeAI pipelines for detection, tracking, redaction, analytics, and more, ensuring consistent performance on Jetson Orin, Xavier, and Thor. Below are real examples of our solutions running on Jetson hardware.
