DeepSonar: Dual-engine identification of ships from hydrophones

Rafael Delgado

CTO at DTec Biometrics

Madrid, Spain

About

Passive sonar information captured from hydrophones installed in ships or submarines can be analysed in real-time for automatic detection and identification of ships. The project will be developed in two stages:

  1. Generic ship classes and non-ship special events (like seismic activity, marine mammals or other human activity) will be detected.

  2. Specific vessels will be registered, detected and identified.

Taking advantage of our expertise in related technologies, a combined approach of AI deep learning and supervised stochastic models is envisioned as an hybrid solution. Specific advanced signal processing, filtering and enhancing techniques will be applied as a front-end before the automatic pattern recognition module.

We are looking for an industrial partner for technological and commercial cooperation.
