AIRIS on RAISE-4 finds hidden ships
The new setup uses an AI called AIRIS on the RAISE-4 satellite. It scans ocean images in real time, picking out ship shapes even when they're trying to stay hidden.
Only the important information (like cropped images and coordinates) gets sent back to Earth fast, making it way easier to track these elusive vessels.
This technology tackles some tough challenges in maritime monitoring, like messy ocean conditions and slow data transmission.
By catching ghost ships, it could make ship detection and tracking a lot more effective.
