Inspiration

Illegal maritime activities are more common than we think: illegal fishing, contraband of oil, ships hiding while trading goods to avoid international sanctions... Space-Eyes provides technology to the Department of Defense to support National Security.

What it does

We detect ships that suspiciously turn off their AIS (a localization device in ever ship) by using aerial imagery.

How we built it

We use state-of-the-art machine learning methods and Earth Observation sensors on board of satellites to detect rogue ships.

Challenges we ran into

Detection systems provided by third party service providers are missing ships. Better technology needs to be developed that uses more sophisticated algorithms.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned

What's next for Space-Eyes. Illegal Maritime Activities Detection from Space

Fusing different sensors: what one sensor can't see, the other sensor can
