Whales are essential to the health of our oceans, playing a critical role in carbon sequestration and maintaining marine ecosystems. Yet, these gentle giants face increasing threats from ship collisions in busy maritime routes. The ATLANTIC WHALE DEAL brings together scientists, conservationists, and technology experts from across Europe to tackle this problem with cutting-edge innovation.
Sea.AI will provide its advanced AI-powered machine vision technology, which detects and classifies objects on the water’s surface. This technology will enable scientists from IWDG and ULL to monitor and track surfacing whales, gather valuable data, and develop real-time solutions to prevent ship strikes.
Sea.AI’s machine vision system provides an extra layer of protection, detecting surfacing whales and alerting navigators. This technology will also enhance the project’s efforts to map whale habitats and identify high-risk zones for ship strikes.
In addition, the data gathered during this project will help Sea.AI further refine its machine vision algorithms, making the technology even more effective for maritime safety worldwide.
