FOSS4G NA 2024 - Tracking Detected Vessels at Sea from USVs - Jonathan Mason & Jian Wu

The presentation by Jonathan Mason and Jian Wu discusses the use of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), specifically sail drones, for tracking vessels at sea. It highlights the unique challenges of ocean exploration and monitoring, and how sail drones, powered by wind and solar energy, enable efficient data collection for various applications including maritime domain awareness. Highlights 🌊 The ocean covers 70% of our planet, yet only 25% is mapped. 🚀 Sail drones are autonomous vessels that eliminate the need for transporting people and supplies. 🔍 Key applications include maritime security and ecosystem monitoring. 💻 Data is processed in real-time using advanced cloud infrastructure. 📊 Drones use various sensors for effective detection and tracking of vessels. 📱 Users can access real-time data via a web application, enhancing decision-making. ⚡ Efficient data management minimizes database writes and optimizes performance.
