Abstract: A system and method assessing maritime vessel risk in response to automatically detected maritime visual events is provided. At least one maritime visual event is detected by at least one camera aboard a vessel that provides image data of the visual event to a processor. The visual event can be associated with at least one of, safety, security, maintenance, crew behavior, and cargo. A risk assessment score is produced in response to the detected visual event, and that risk assessment score is provided to a user in a desired format. Production of the risk assessment score can entail comparing the visual event to data of complying or non-complying model visual events from a data storage. Risk assessment scores can be aggregated from plurality of events and/or a fleet of vessels to generate overall scores for the vessel and fleet.

Abstract: This invention provides a system and method that employs reduction in bandwidth and the amount of data stored, along with queuing of data, so that the significant and/or relevant shipboard visual information is detected and communicated continuously from the ship (or other remote vehicle/location) to shore without loss of useful/high-priority information and within the available bandwidth of that typical, available satellite link. The system and method supports remote configuration and management from shore to the ship over the same communications channel but in the reverse direction.

Abstract: This invention provides a system and method that uses a hybrid model for transportation-based (e.g. maritime) visual event detection of events. In operation, video data is reduced by detecting change and exclusively transmitting images to the deep learning model when changes are detected, or alternatively, based upon a timer that samples at selected intervals. Relatively straightforward deep learning models are used, which operate on sparse individual frames, instead of employing complex deep learning models that operate on multiple frames/videos. This approach reduces the need for specialized models. Independent, rule-based classifiers are used, based on the output of the deep learning model into visual events that, in turn, allows highly specialized events to be constructed.

Abstract: This invention provides a system and method for fleet management, including handling visual events in association with an activity. One or more visual event detector(s) is/are provided, having at least one camera that acquires images of the activity, and a processor that receives the images. A visual event detection process operates to process the images. A queuing process identifies visual events from the visual event detector and stores the visual events. A communications process transmits the stored visual events in a queued format to a remote location. A display that is accessed by users to view visual events, and a collaboration process displays information related to collaboration between permitted users based upon a context of each of the visual events—which can comprise fleet management activities related to at least one of bridge operations, cargo operations, maintenance operations, safety operations, and vetting and security with respect to a vessel.
