12/16/2019 - CodaOctopus® Survey Engine Automatic Object Detection Package (SEADP)

Released in early 2019, our Survey Engine® Automatic Object Detection Package (SEADP) has already saved our geophysical customers many days per project of post processing sidescan sonar data.

SEADP automatically detects boulders on the seabed, and generates a comprehensive report on each detected boulder using artificial intelligence (AI) methods. It automatically computes the boulder position, length and height to further automate the seabed data interpretation task, saving valuable time and survey costs. From SEADP it is possible to export comprehensive reports with information on each detected boulder regarding position, dimensions, detection confidence and to include an image for reporting and Quality Control. Integrated fully into our industry tested Survey Engine Sidescan+ software, SEADP transforms the geophysical survey workflow.

In early trials, SEADP was already detecting an impressive 4,600 boulders in just 9 minutes throughout 3km of data to an incredible 91% accuracy rate. Based on customer participation, we have enlarged the scope of datasets classified in our Object Detection Classifier resulting in further improvements including significant reduction in the number of false positive identifications, implementing techniques for dealing with overlapping lines (de-duplication), and improving performance on rippled areas as well as areas with linear features. We have also improved the visualization of the boulder detections in the GIS window by allowing the optional display of de-duplication, or duplicate interpretations from the overlapping survey lines.
