Abstract

Marine object detection, localization and classification systems and related techniques include an imaging system configured capture a stream of panoramic images of the water surrounding a mobile structure, including a view of the horizon. The images may include a 360-degree view from the mobile structure. The system is configured to analyze the stream of images using a marine video analytics system and/or a convolutional neural network to detect a region of interest comprising an object on the surface of the water, classify the detected object and relay the results to the user and/or a processing system. The analysis may include determining a horizon in a captured image, defining tiles across the horizon, and detecting objects in each tile.
