The project I-SEAMORE, where Eviden lead the project coordination and the Platform & Services work package, ended successfully on 31st October after 34 months of work, involving colleagues from the Computer Vision and Mission Critical Systems teams.
At the Final Review held on 20 November, the consortium presented the outcomes of the project consisting of a Maritime Operations Center Platform that integrated all types of signals (radar, UxVs payloads, AIS, CISE, Copernicus Satellite and EMODnet).
Some of the main results have been the following:
- Platform tested in real environment during the REPMUS 25 exercise in Troia, Portugal.
- Integration of UAVs and USVs.
- Modelling and simulation tool for training and operations briefing.
- Computer Vision algorithms for detection, identification and classification of vessels and people on them.
- Data fusion components for detection of navigation anomalies to assist operators.
- Debriefing tool capturing all data and streams during operations for later analysis and collection of evidence in case of criminal activities.
- New web-based software version of VIGIA C4I software developed by Eviden MCS business line
The project has achieved most of its expected results. However, some challenges have been addressed. For example, some of the initially planned UAVs were dropped, although viable alternatives were quickly integrated into the data communication bus.
I-SEAMORE was fully aligned with the Computer Vision unit's continuous efforts to improve the detection of all kinds of objects. It was also aligned with the MCS unit to modernize the technologies on which the previous VIGIA software was based.
