EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL OF OPEN-DATA FOR OCEANS MONITORING WITH AI ANALYTICS

Abstract. Monitoring vessel activity in the ocean plays an essential role in ensuring maritime safety, environmental monitoring, and fisheries management. This article explores the importance of vessel tracking and investigates the potential of using open data for ocean monitoring using AI analysis. As satellite data demand increases, new technologies are being developed to address challenges and improve accessibility for a wider user base. This article discusses the use of AI analytics to process multiple datasets, identify ships, and track their movements. In addition, it emphasises the importance of cloud geoprocessing for accessing and analysing vast spatial data, resulting in improved decision-making and operational efficiency. In general, this article provides information on how vessel tracking can be improved for maritime safety, security, and environmental protection using open remote sensing and AI-based analysis datasets.
