AI Technologies are available as an add‑on option for USVs and AUVs
Ensuring safe navigation in dynamic environments is critical for autonomous marine vehicles. The AI-powered obstacle avoidance system enables our USVs and AUVs to detect and avoid obstacles in real time, maintaining mission efficiency while minimizing risk.
Addressing the challenge
Recognizing objects in side scan sonar visuals traditionally requires extensive training and experience, as operators must notice and interpret subtle cues in contours and shadows. One often needs to perform multiple passes to collect data from different angles. Thus, a survey can be very time-consuming and tiring for the operator who is often working under pressure, outdoors, and in poor weather.
To address the challenges of locating and identifying submerged assets, EvoLogics developed a system for automatic object recognition in data collected by our autonomous vehicles.
Our AI-based solution uses neural network algorithms designed to process side-scan sonar and video data, handle large data volumes in real time, and run efficiently on dedicated embedded hardware - since cloud computing is not available in open waters. Our pre-trained models cover a wide range of objects relevant to key customer groups. The system is ready to use out of the box, and additional training is available to expand its object recognition capabilities.
