AI-Powered Automated Underwater Marine Debris and Anomaly Detection System using Side-Scan Sonar Imagery

Source

Source summary

The proposal uses AI to identify marine debris and artificial anomalies in side-scan sonar imagery, distinguishing them from seabed features despite speckle, shadows, resolution changes and motion-related gaps. Detections or segmentation masks should carry confidence scores. Sonar metadata should support location, dimensions and classification in downloadable JSON/CSV reports, with an overlay dashboard. Efficient edge or onboard operation is a possible deployment goal, not mandatory cloud dependence.

Energy Data Management - Solutions to develop a entralized database for Renewable Energy Access through API

Create a central renewable-energy database, with API access as specified in the title, to make solar, wind and other potential renewable-resource information easier to monitor and use. The source contrasts this with the household-electrification monitoring portal; it is not simply a household billing dashboard.

Fuel consumption optimization using AI-based tools

Develop AI-based tools that adjust ship fuel use with reference to weather, engine performance, cargo load and manoeuvres. The source asks for lower consumption while respecting environmental rules, including IMO requirements, and overall operating efficiency and cost. It does not establish that a particular optimisation method delivers savings.
