WITH AI
[ Lookout+ Trials with The USV Group® ]
PROTECTING MARINE LIFE WITH AI
Lookout+ is an advanced, vision-based AI platform developed specifically for maritime applications. Its key focus is detecting and classifying marine mammals in real time, for both crewed and uncrewed vessels to avoid potentially harmful interactions.
In collaboration with Greenroom Robotics and Plymouth Marine Laboratory, The USV Group’s initiative brings this innovation to Smart Sound for UK trials targeting resident Dolphin and Porpoise populations in Plymouth Sound. These trials are part of a broader initiative to reduce the risk of vessel strikes and provide vital data in sensitive marine environments for pre-consent surveys and site monitoring programs.
Lookout+ Key
Capabilities.
Real-Time Detection & Classification
Lookout+ identifies and classifies different species of marine mammals as they are encountered.
Extended Detection Range
The system can detect marine mammals up to 670 meters away and classify them accurately at distances up to 330 meters.
Multi-Sensor Integration
Lookout+ fuses data from optical, infrared (IR), radar (ARPA), and AIS sensors to create a detailed, all-weather view of the surrounding environment.
Smart Alert System
Customisable alerts notify crews when marine mammals are nearby, improving response time and enhancing safety protocols.
360° Situational Awareness
Multiple Lookout+ units can be combined to provide full 360-degree coverage, far exceeding the detection ability of traditional human lookouts.
By trialling Lookout+ across its network, The USV Group is helping to demonstrate how innovative AI solutions can play a critical role in marine conservation and operational safety.
