ILLEGAL ACTIVITY

VESSELS PARTICIPATING IN ILLEGAL ACTIVITY DETECTED & CLASSIFIED WITH 90% ACCURACY

Maritime illegal activities are a serious problem, with piracy, hijacking and theft often by ship-to-ship transfer of goods. Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU) is also a huge issue causing supply, environmental issues and territorial battles.

We provide fast and accurate vessel detection and classification of a large catalogue of civil vessels, day and night in all weather conditions.

Above – Classification of multiple crude oil tankers performing ship-to-ship transfer potentially illegally.

HOW WE DO IT

SATIM has built a highly accurate simulator for generating synthetic SAR signatures. The simulator allows us to simulate a SAR signature of any object and any SAR system.

Thanks to the simulator, we can add new types of vessels (e.g, a new type, class group or an unusual type) to train our AI model and to be classified within days.

OUR RESULTS

Our extensive catalogue of SAR simulations with 95% SAR data accuracy allows us to add new types of vessels within days. This flexibility allows us to classify on request a wide range of civil vessels participating in illegal activities including but not limited to many types of oil tankers and fishing trawlers.

What is SAR?

SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) is a powerful remote sensing technology bouncing microwave signals off the Earth’s surface to detect physical properties.

It is used to create a high-resolution two-dimensional representation of the imaging area.

Imagery can be captured day and night, without the usual visibility limitations of optical data and is well suited to monitoring extensive areas.
