How might we use AI on Unmanned Vessels to interpret maritime scene contexts?
Scene perception - the ability to determine context beyond object recognition - is a necessary condition for a single Unmanned Aerial/Surface/Underwater Vessel (UxV) or UxVs working cooperatively to operate effectively in challenging maritime environments. Examples of operational challenges related to scene perception in a maritime environment are described below. AI-enabled scene perception in UxVs would minimise the cognitive load on operators, increasing operational efficiency.
What We Are Looking For
We are seeking proposals that 1) define challenging and realistic maritime scene perception scenarios as represented by real world and/or synthetic data generated by sensors commonly found on UxV platforms and 2) present innovative AI algorithms that can successfully operate on that representative data and determine operational context.
Selected proposals will describe both the construction of a maritime scenario (simulation or physical environment) and the technical details of the novel software-based AI algorithms for the UxVs operating in this environment. The type of UxV platform (surface, underwater, or airborne) will be weighted equally in the evaluation process. Deliverables include the maritime scenario dataset used by the performers in this challenge.
