MARITIME
NEPTUNE Ship Detector
Model Overview
Detect and localize a variety of maritime objects from a variety of ship-mounted angles. Trained with proprietary CVEDIA synthetic technology, NEPTUNE includes tankers and cargo ships, as well as sail, fishing, motor, and emergency boats. The CVEDIA NEPTUNE Maritime Detector also detects buoys and debris as separate events, as well as ensuring airplanes are classified as false alarms. Use in an automation process, for docking, or as a part of a situational awareness system. This model was trained in cloudy and foggy conditions, as well as rough Douglas Sea State conditions from 0-7.
NEPTUNE allows for unprecedented object detection performance for maritime autonomy. By effectively utilizing CVEDIA synthetic data technology, NEPTUNE is stronger in uncommon weather and wave patterns, more resilient against new boat models, and regularly updated for consistent performance.

About CVEDIA
CVEDIA is a pioneer in the use of synthetic data for machine perception. We use deep learning to create synthetic-based detection and classification algorithms. CVEDIA models actually outperform traditional models because synthetic data allows for feature-based design. That means our models are safer and quicker to market. Today we work with over 30 of the world’s largest companies on their most complex deep learning projects.
Every model is backed by an ongoing maintenance service, as well as the ability to customize and add to a model through our in-house development team. We’ll even help you deploy our models in your software stack. Contact us for more information.

Maintenance
Each CVEDIA model comes backed with an ongoing maintenance agreement. Our team is available for continuous improvements and to ensure upkeep. Reach out to us for more information.
Fine Grain Classification
Speak to our team to discuss vehicle classification as a service add on or as a separate model. CVEDIA’s in-house team will work with you to define your requirements, and build a synthetic-based model incorporating your classification specifications.
Additional Classes
CVEDIA models are built using proprietary synthetic data technology – meaning adding additional classes to your model is possible in a matter of weeks.
Situational Awareness
Use NEPTUNE as an effective component of your situational awareness system with the ability to automate alerts about ships and other ocean obstructions on the horizon. NEPTUNE maintains a low power profile, making it suitable for existing camera setups.
Marine Docking
NEPTUNE can be used on your ship’s bow or stern in order to maintain a safe distance from other seacraft and objects when docking in a port. Additional detection classes and classification parameters are available as CVEDIA service add-ons.
Autonomous Ships
NEPTUNE allows for unprecedented object detection performance for maritime autonomy. By effectively utilizing CVEDIA synthetic data technology, NEPTUNE is stronger in uncommon weather and wave patterns, more resilient against new boat models, and regularly updated for consistent performance.
