Maritime navigation often faces challenges such as heavy fog and poor visibility at night. In such conditions, traditional radar and Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) often struggle to provide real-time and intuitive navigational information. The "Artificial Intelligence Navigation Assistance System" addresses this pain point by integrating AI-based image recognition with thermal imaging and visible light camera technologies. Even in nighttime or adverse weather, the system can accurately identify surrounding vessels, significantly enhancing visual perception capabilities.

By fusing data from maritime radar and AIS, the system offers a real-time, intuitive visual navigation interface that enables quick awareness of surrounding vessel movements. Additionally, through AI-powered predictive analysis, it can recognize up to 17 vessel types under all weather conditions and effectively detect vessel activity within a 2-nautical-mile range, actively alerting users to potential navigation risks and helping to prevent collisions.

The system has already been integrated with cameras from Merit Lilin Ent. Co. and Creative Sensor Inc., and deployed on vessels from Pier 22 Co. Yachts and Porrima. Future plans include expanding into unmanned vessel applications, further advancing AI capabilities in maritime operations.
