System and method for identifying an object in water

A system for identifying at least one object at least partially immerged in a water area, said system comprising a capturing module comprising at least one camera, said at least one camera being configured to generate at least one sequence of images of said water area, an inertial measurement module configured to provide spatial data, said spatial data comprising an inclination angle, relatively to the terrestrial horizontal axis, of the support on which the capturing module is mounted, and a processing module being configured to receive at least one sequence of images from said at least one camera and comprising at least one artificial neural network, said at least one artificial neural network being configured to detect at least one object in said at least one received sequence of images, to extract a set of features from said at least one detected object, to compare said extracted set of features with at least one predetermined set of features associated with a predefined object, and to identify the at least one detected object when the extracted set of features matches with the at least one predetermined set of features, said processing module being configured to receive the inclination angle and to estimate the distance of the identified object using the at least one sequence of images, and said inclination angle, to track the at least one identified object in the at least one sequence of images to avoid the at least one identified object.
