Consistent maritime surveillance for detecting illegal activities in the seas and oceans remains an open problem: piracy, smuggling, pollution, and illegal fishing are only some of the activities involving rogue vessels that are taking place every day in the vast open seas.
Currently, the asset mainly used for maritime surveillance in the open seas is the Automatic Identification System (AIS); but AIS is a co-operative system: rogue actors can always switch off their onboard AIS transponder, or even spoof it, thus becoming "dark" ships. And even legitimate, non-rogue vessels, can seem dark unwillingly (and even unknowingly to them) from the receiving point of view, despite transmitting: shore AIS receivers have only a range of about 40 NM; and satellite AIS reception is compromised due to signal congestion, when too many ships are present in the satellite’s field of reception, compounded by the fact that the satellite spends only a limited time covering a certain area.
SatShipAI aims to enhance and complement the maritime surveillance capabilities currently provided by AIS and similar systems using state of the art Artificial Intelligence (AI), in order to provide ship detection, type classification, and size estimation from open satellite imagery.
