SMART-SEA: ML and Radar Data Application

Overview:

Researchers at the Fürth Lab at the Texas A&M University Ocean Engineering are developing an exciting new system called SMART-SEA that uses radar and machine learning to help ships avoid collisions with offshore structures by giving real-time guidance on how and when to steer safely, and it could make the seas much safer for everyone. SMART-SEA works by processing radar images and data about how a ship moves to suggest the best maneuvers for captains, and it has already been tested on a research vessel with promising early results. The team, which includes ocean engineers and former mariners, hopes to continue improving the system so it can be used on more types of vessels and in all weather conditions.
