Abstract
The present disclosure provides an autonomous cruising system capable of improving an accuracy of identifying description of a sign. The autonomous cruising system includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires a first image including a buoy from a camera installed in a ship. The processing circuitry identifies a position of the buoy inside the first image. The processing circuitry acquires a second image corresponding to a partial area of the first image including the position of the buoy, and the second image is higher in resolution than the first image. The processing circuitry identifies description of a sign of the buoy based on the second image.
