SEA.AI Employs Machine Vision and AI Improving Maritime Safety and Security [Video]

The use of traditional electronic aids has dramatically reduced the number of collisions at sea over the last decades, especially at night and in poor visibility. Radar and AIS integrated into ECDIS in particular have improved the safety of all seafarers, but these devices have their limitations. Harnessing the power of the latest in AI and “machine vision” technology, SEA.AI addresses some of the shortcomings of existing systems. Its Austrian-designed and manufactured solutions are now available for commercial, defense, fishing, workboat, and rescue vessels as well as the leisure cruising and racing markets. 

Since its rapid introduction during and post-World War II, radar technology has become more refined and precise and has introduced valuable features like ARPA, but even top-of-the-range equipment still struggles to display targets with a weak radar signature, especially at long and short ranges. Meanwhile, over the last two decades, AIS has revolutionized the tracking and identification …
