The aim of this application is to create awareness about the dangers of illegal fishing and also to detect suspicious fishing activities in the oceans.
There are 3 main sections to this project:
Detecting of ships from satellite imagery using Deep Learning techniques: Users can upload satellite images and a CNN that is specially trained for this task will return a probability of that image containing a ship.
Identifying whether a ship was located inside a Marine Protected Area (MPA) using GeoSpatial data: Users can enter coordinates of their satellite images. A map marked with MPA boundaries using GEOJSON is then used to determine whether the given point lies within an MPA.
Identifying Vessels of Interest: An advanced method of identifying suspicious vessels using a sophisticated machine learning algorithms trained on a unique dataset (created by us)
