  • Patent number: 11156723
    Abstract: Methods and systems detect physical locations of vessels. A first satellite includes a first image sensor. A second satellite includes a second image sensor. The processor receives a first image of a target area from the first image sensor, and a second image of the target area from the second image sensor. Both images are taken within a predetermined time frame. The processor performs image recognition to identify a vessel that appears in both the first image and the second image. The processor receives the first satellite's location and orientation when the first image is taken and the second satellite's location and orientation when the second image is taken. Each satellite's location and orientation are determined by the satellite's geographic determination module. The processor determines the vessel's location by performing triangulation based on the first satellite's location and orientation and the second satellite's location and orientation.
