Inspired by OSCAR Navigation collision avoidance system, I wanted to test how an off-the-shelf Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically deep neural network based object labeling system, would work on maritime collision avoidance application. AI would be responsible for the labeling of the objects and marking their location in the image. If it can be done with … Read More “Testing Artificial Intelligence (deep neural networks) for maritime collision avoidance” »
