Enhancing Maritime Safety
RSE support for an EPSRC maritime safety project using stereo imaging, wave reconstruction, and computer vision to support safer seakeeping decisions.
Overview
The EPSRC-funded Enhancing Maritime Safety project at the University of Portsmouth focuses on stereo imaging, 4D wave reconstruction, computer vision, and experimental validation to support safer seakeeping decisions for maritime operations.
Public outputs are being prepared as separate manuscripts.
RSE Contribution
Data pipeline
Enhancements and optimisations made to Blender, including the development of level of detail (LOD) functionality for the Ocean Modifier. The creation of a custom stereoocean data pipeline for creating stereo images of the ocean surface from Blender simulations, which are then used for training and validating computer vision models.
Example stereoocean render.
Computer vision model
Development of a computer vision model for disparity map prediction from stereo images. The model is trained and validated using the stereo images generated from Blender simulations.
