Enhanced Thermal Artificial Intelligence for a Significant Detection Upgrading 

One of the prominent features of our sailing systems’ latest software update is the introduction of a new Thermal Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Trained with additional 90,000 images lead to substantial increase of precision, more accurate bounding boxes and improvement of the consistency of the object size. This enhancement ensures that potential threats are identified with higher precision.

MFD Alarm improvements

In this update, we’ve enhanced the MFD alarm system:

  1. Alarm Flood Prevention: Limited number of simultaneous alarms with clearer view of information to avoid overwhelming users.
  2. Alarm Cool Down: Introduces a cool-down period to prevent redundant alerts.
  3. Continuous Alarm Replacement: Replaces continuous alarms with more manageable notifications.

These improvements ensure a more efficient and user-friendly alarm experience.

Bugfixes & Long-Term stability improvements

This update brings essential bug fixes and long-term stability improvements. Key enhancements include:

  1. Thermal Camera Stability Fix: Resolves the issue of spontaneous disconnects, ensuring continuous and reliable operation.
  2. General Bug Fixes: Addresses various minor bugs to enhance system performance.
  3. Long-Term Stability Enhancements: Implements measures to ensure sustained system reliability and efficiency over time.

SEA.AI offers extensive detection capabilities both on and above the water’s surface, regardless of the materials involved, whether it’s wood, steel, plastic, or organic matter.

Its visual range extends to the horizon, although the exact detection range depends on factors like the size of the object, the specific SEA.AI model being used, and the current environmental conditions.

SEA.AI excels at identifying and also categorizing floating objects and potential hazards. It has the capability to differentiate between various entities, including buoys, persons overboard, sailing or motorboats, and ships. With each software update, it further refines its intelligence, continuously enhancing its capacity to identify and classify objects. In situations where certainty may be lacking, SEA.AI labels the item as an “unknown object,” ensuring clarity and facilitating informed decision-making.

Yes, SEA.AI systems are equipped with thermal cameras, granting them night vision capabilities. Even in adverse weather conditions, their thermal cameras outperform the human eye. Considering the usual tasks undertaken by a crew – whether helming, navigation, or other duties – SEA.AI systems remain steadfastly vigilant, like watchful ‘barrelmen’ atop the mast. Their consistent vigilance ensures real-time alerts in the presence of potential hazards.

SEA.AI has an in-built IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). The IMU helps SEA.AI to know in which direction and with which acceleration the cameras and the boat are moving.  As a second point of reference for image stabilisation and movement compensation, SEA.AI uses AI-based horizon detection. This is the reason why SEA.AI also works in bad sea states. 

Since SEA.AI is usually mounted at the highest point of the boat (on sailing vessels SEA.AI is mounted on the mast top), it can see over the wave crests. Waves will generally influence the boat’s pitching and rolling, and the crew will have a hard time to identify even close objects. As soon as the boat drops into a wave trough, it is typically impossible to see behind the next wave. The mounting height will already make SEA.AI a lot more reliable than what a crewmember can see.
