This is a feasibility study for designing an automatic marine vessel detection system that can be used by an Unmanned Surface Vehicle. Following a thorough exploration of the challenges related to the video date acquired on the boat by our partner, we will come up with recommendations for the best camera hardware setup and preprocessing […]

Ocean industries and researchers need the on-site oceanographic and environmental data, but collecting that data is costly, challenging, and time-consuming. Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) offer a promising solution for marine data collection. Equipped with oceanographic sensors, cameras and communication devices, the USV Data Xplorer developed by Open Ocean Robotics can voyage for extended periods thanks […]
