Smart Ports: Computer Vision

Delivered December 27, 2019. Contributor: Dagmawit W.

Goals

To understand how computer vision helps with smart port applications in order to estimate the value proposition. To obtain a list of use cases for computer vision for automating port operations and enabling smart ports.

Early Findings

 Port of Antwerp Smart Cameras: Computer visionIn order to ensure that the port is safe and secure, this port is working hand-in-hand with many partners. This has been achieved with the intricate network of over 600 cameras that are monitoring everything that is going on.
These cameras identify objects and automatically analyze them with computer vision and artificial intelligence. Below are some practical applications.
 Increased frequency of inspections by optimizing preventive maintenance, conduct analyses of the vehicles that pass through, and increased security by monitoring traffic and the weight of the containers.
The Digital TwinThis is a real-time digital three-dimensional map of the port. Most of the data used is collected in real-time by the cameras. This is ideal in identifying the ships at the dock and the state of the water.
This video, "Port of the Future," demonstrates this capability in greater clarity.
Summary of our Early FindingsOur initial research was able to provide insights into one use case of smart ports. We have provided a brief analysis of this use case.
