Supported by the 2020 – 2021 Results Fund, a Proof of Concept (POC) was developed for the automated detection of vessel fishing activity using an AI model. The resulting predictive model takes vessel movement tracks as input and outputs the vessel tracks annotated with its activity i.e. fishing or not-fishing, as illustrated below. The model uses features such as vessel speed standard deviation, course standard deviation, and fishing gear type to detect vessel activity. | Supported by the 2020 – 2021 Results Fund, a Proof of Concept (POC) was developed for the automated detection of vessel fishing activity using an AI model.
