|   INTRODUCTION TO SEAGULL SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY

SEAGULL Surveillance represents a significant leap forward in maritime security technology. Designed to address the complex challenges of modern maritime security, SEAGULL combines advanced artificial intelligence (AI) with high-resolution video streaming to offer unprecedented surveillance capabilities. This innovative solution is engineered to function stand-alone or to complement existing AIS and Radar systems, filling the gaps left by these traditional technologies and providing a more comprehensive security framework for maritime operations.



|   HOW SEAGULL WORKS: REAL-TIME VIDEO STREAM ANALYSIS USING AI 

At the heart of SEAGULL Surveillance is its ability to analyze live video feeds in real-time, utilizing state-of-the-art artificial intelligence algorithms. This process involves several key steps:

1. Data collection: SEAGULL captures high-definition video streams from a network of cameras stationed around critical maritime areas.

2. Image processing: The AI algorithms process the incoming video streams, identifying vessels. This processing includes detecting small or low-profile boats that might go unnoticed by traditional radar, as well as their speed and sailing direction.

3. Behavior analysis: Beyond mere detection, SEAGULL’s AI examines the behavior of each vessel, looking for patterns or activities that suggest illicit actions, such as illegal entry, or speeding.

4. Alert generation: When suspicious activity is detected, SEAGULL automatically generates alerts that can be send to port security personnel, a third party control room, or to law enforcement agencies, providing them with real-time information and visual evidence to assess and respond to potential threats faster then ever before.



This AI-driven approach allows SEAGULL to offer a level of vigilance and precision that is simply not possible with conventional surveillance systems alone.

|   ADVANTAGES OVER TRADITIONAL SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS

SEAGULL Surveillance offers several key advantages over traditional AIS and Radar systems, addressing their inherent limitations and significantly enhancing maritime security capabilities:

• Enhanced detection capabilities: With its high-resolution video analysis, SEAGULL can detect vessels of all sizes, including those attempting to evade detection by disabling AIS transponders or using stealthy navigation techniques.

• Accurate detection and classification: SEAGULL provides visual confirmation of vessel activities, allowing security personnel to quickly differentiate between legitimate and suspicious behavior. This capability is crucial for effective enforcement and response actions.

• Comprehensive coverage: SEAGULL’s network of cameras can monitor vast areas, including those beyond the range of radar or where AIS coverage is spotty or nonexistent. This ensures a more consistent and reliable surveillance presence.

• Real-time monitoring and response: The immediacy of SEAGULL’s alerts enables faster decision-making and response to potential threats, reducing the risk of illicit activities going undetected or unchallenged.

• Integration with existing systems: SEAGULL is designed to work in concert with AIS and Radar, creating a layered surveillance system that leverages the strengths of each technology to provide a unified security solution.
