Intelligent Sensing System for Coastal Surveillance

The project addresses the challenge of ineffective coastal vessel surveillance in Hong Kong under diverse environmental conditions, such as fog, rain, and low light, which hinder detection of smuggling and illegal maritime activities. Current systems lack robust multi-spectral capabilities, limiting vessel identification accuracy. This solution enhances surveillance with advanced multi-spectral sensing and image fusion for reliable, all-weather border security.

• Co-axial Multi-spectral Optical System: Integrates Visible, SWIR, and LWIR sensors in a co-axial optical framework for comprehensive vessel surveillance in all conditions.
• Exceptional Imaging Performance: Employs advanced multi-spectral image fusion and enhancement to produce high-quality composite images for accurate vessel identification.
• Advanced Multi-Spectral Image Fusion: Combines and processes Visible, SWIR, and LWIR spectral data using AI-enhanced algorithms to generate high-contrast, detail-rich composite imagery. This intelligent fusion improves target discrimination at extended ranges, reduces false alarms, and enhances situational awareness—critical for long-range maritime surveillance and threat assessment.

• Enhanced Detection: Multi-spectral sensors ensure reliable vessel identification in fog, rain, or low light, improving maritime security.
• High-Quality Imaging: Advanced image fusion delivers clear, detailed composite images for precise vessel feature recognition.
• All-Weather Performance: Robust system operates effectively under diverse environmental conditions, ensuring continuous surveillance.
• Anti-Smuggling Impact: Strengthens Hong Kong’s border protection by detecting illegal maritime activities in real time.

• Coastal Surveillance: Monitors Hong Kong’s maritime borders to detect and track vessels in real time, enhancing security.
• Anti-Smuggling Operations: Identifies suspicious vessels and activities, aiding in the prevention of smuggling and illegal trade.
• Search and Rescue: Locates vessels in distress under poor visibility conditions, improving response efficiency.
• Environmental Monitoring: Tracks maritime activities to support coastal ecosystem protection and regulatory compliance.
