AI-Driven Vessel Detection
Phoenix AI’s Vessel Detector uses Edge AI to deliver real-time vessel detection with any camera, tracking, and classification in any condition. It enhances port security, law enforcement, and maritime traffic management, helping prevent illicit activities.
Unlike traditional systems, it detects vessels even without AIS, ensuring accurate, GDPR-compliant monitoring with low operational costs.
Challenges
Illegal activities, security threats, and inefficient maritime monitoring pose significant challenges for ports, coast guards, and law enforcement agencies.
Traditional vessel detection methods rely heavily on Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals, which can be manipulated, disabled, or simply absent in certain areas. This creates critical blind spots in maritime surveillance, leaving authorities unable to track unregistered or suspicious vessels.
A smarter, more efficient, and cost-effective solution is needed to enhance maritime security, reduce operational burdens, and ensure real-time vessel monitoring while ensuring a complete software integration thanks to your APIs.
