AIVE AI Systems ● Austin, Texas
What your drone sees, on the map.
AIVE AI Systems builds vision-based software that puts drones and their imagery on the map: one georegistration engine, three products.
Our products
One engine, three products.
AIVE Atlas Geo matches drone photos to satellite imagery to put them on the map. AIVE Atlas Analyst and AIVE Atlas Locate are built on the same engine.
Drone photos on the map, no ground control.
Upload a flight and each photo is matched to satellite imagery and placed on the map, 10 cm to 3 m depending on terrain.
How it works →
Ask the map. Count what’s on it.
Find places in plain English, then outline, count and measure buildings, vehicles, trees and more in any box you draw.

Position when GNSS can’t tell you.
Sub-10 m 3D self-positioning in GNSS-denied environments. It brings our georegistration engine onboard, so a drone can work out where it is from what its camera sees.

Built in Austin, from UT’s XPRIZE Wildfire team.
AIVE AI Systems is a University of Texas at Austin spinoff. Our origins trace to UT FLARE-X, a semi-finalist in the XPRIZE Wildfire competition, where our team built drones, sensors and software for autonomous wildfire response. AIVE AI Systems launched in January 2026 to build on that work.
