LITTORAL

DETECTION & CLASSIFICATION OF LITTORAL VESSEL ACTIVITY WITH 90% ACCURACY

Monitoring activity in waters just off the coast (known as the ‘littoral’) is important for Defence and Security purposes. Coastal areas are very congested making monitoring intelligence, vital to military surveillance and operations, extremely difficult.

Recent events of unrest and invasion have increased the importance of maritime monitoring, especially around coastal points and ports to protect borders. Military vessels such as Naval Frigate’s patrol littoral areas, to protect against any threats or report suspicious activities.

Various maritime technology is used to patrol these waters, however often has limitations of light, weather and AIS availability. Detection of vessels is required and in many cases classification of the vessels to know their purpose.

We provide accurate detection and classification of a vast catalogue of military and civil vessels in any weather conditions, day or night using SAR (synthetic aperture radar) imagery.

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

We have built an extensive catalogue of SAR simulations with 95% SAR data accuracy. These simulations provide training data for our AI-based software solution achieving over 90% vessel classification accuracy, including dark vessel detection (AIS turned off).

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.
