OCEAN POSSE PRODUCT DEMO - SEA.AI

Quick recap The meeting covered various topics, including the participants experiences and current locations, as well as a demonstration of AI technology in the marine world. Nick presented the company's machine vision technology and its applications in enhancing situational awareness at sea, showcasing different products and their features. The discussion also included technical specifications, costs, and potential integrations of the vessel surveillance system, concluding with information on purchasing options and a discount offer. - Nick to share information about the upcoming lower-cost camera models launching at Palm Beach Boat Show. - Ocean Posse members to consider SEA.ai system purchase before Q3 start to receive 5% off MSRP. - Captain to make the recorded meeting available to other Ocean Posse members. - Nick to follow up on potential integration of SEA.ai brain with Proteus Summary New Year Experiences and AI Demo In the meeting, Captain and Nick discussed their New Year experiences and their current locations. Captain shared that they were based in Panama, next to the canal, while Nick was in Miami. They also discussed their plans for the end of the year, including a couple of parties. Nick then attempted to share a presentation but encountered some technical difficulties, which he resolved by enabling his share settings. Chris, who was also on the call, shared that he was in Vermont and was in the process of building a trawler. The group expressed their excitement about the potential of AI in the marine world, with Nick set to demonstrate its applications. The meeting was recorded for those who couldn't attend. Machine Vision Enhances Situational Awareness Nick discussed the company's use of machine vision technology to enhance situational awareness at sea, complementing AIS and radar technologies. The company has over 600 systems in the field and a database of 18 million annotated marine objects. They are integrating with radar to control camera views and have tight integration with Time 0. The company offers various products, including the Cai Sentry for motor yachts, the Cai Offshore for blue water sailors, the SEA.ai Competition for ocean racing, and the SEA.ai Brain for running AI detections on 3rd party thermal cameras. The SEA.ai Sentry features electronic zoom, electronic and mechanical image stabilization, AI-based target tracking, intelligent alarms, and four key functions: object detection, target tracking, collision avoidance, and perimeter surveillance. The company's products can detect objects up to 7,500 meters away and require a minimum mounting height of 15 feet above the water surface. Mounting Height and System Integration Nick discussed the importance of mounting height for better accuracy and detection distance in their system. He showcased various demo clips, including daytime and nighttime views, auto tracking, and collision avoidance features. He also highlighted the ability to select distances for warning versus danger and the memory built into the camera for target tracking. Nick further explained the integration of radar with the pan tilt zoom, enabling visual verification and target classification. He also mentioned the ongoing validation of third-party cameras, including Flir and Axis, and the future integration of distance estimation into the system. AI Detections on Thermal Cameras Nick demonstrated the use of AI detections on a thermal camera, highlighting its ability to detect and classify various objects, including whales. He explained that the camera technology is old but has been innovated in the traditional CCTV industry, and they are bringing this technology to the marine industry. Nick also mentioned that they are working on integrating their product with other marine navigation tools like Proteus, which uses AI to display data from current systems. Chris and Captain discussed the potential of using the AI system for tracking long lines and recording incidents, with Nick confirming that the system can be integrated with onboard NVRs for extended recording. Vessel Surveillance System Specifications and Costs The team discussed the technical specifications and costs of a vessel surveillance system. Nick clarified that the system requires a 24V DC power supply and consumes 50-70 watts. He also mentioned that the system can be purchased through a dealer network in North and South America, with a lead time of 4-6 weeks. The cost of the system, including professional installation, was estimated at around $49,000 MSRP. Nick also mentioned that a lower-cost version of the system would be launched at the Palm Beach Boat Show. The team agreed to make the meeting recording available to the group and Nick offered a 5% discount for purchases made before the start of Q3.
