Description
Oculi Mare is a start up company operating under Computer Programming Activities. It was founded with the idea of using computer vision and artificial intelligence technologies in the outdoor surveillance and management, and this particular project focuses on AI technologies and outdoor surveillance of berths and anchorages.
Research conducted by OCULI MARE, and its Partner IRI has showed that currently available solutions have limited performances and limited usability in harsh weather conditions. The product that partners will develop aims at providing solution specifically targeted for harsh environment, that will also increase maritime safety.
The concept that partners are developing combines mechanical-gravitational sensors and optical sensors for detection of events like: vessel entry and vessel departure, mooring taken, anchor rope broken, high rope tension level, etc. Main system applications are berth monitoring in anchorages and marinas and monitoring of safety ropes in aquaculture.
Project addresses technical problems like high volume production design, easy and simple mounting, system reliability in different climate environment and business problems in the field of monitoring system usability, production organization, limited capacities for worldwide distribution etc.
The big advantage of this solution is that the system does not require installation of additional equipment in vessels. Furthermore, the electronic circuits needed to collect photos are easy to set up and will function autonomously with their own power supplies. The system will be able to detect any type of object on the sea surface no matter what material it is made of.
