Abstract
An object detection system for a marine vessel having at least one marine drive includes at least one image sensor positioned on the marine vessel and configured to capture an image of a marine environment on or around the marine vessel, and a processor. The object detection system further includes an image scanning module executable on the processor that receives the image as input. The image scanning module includes an artificial neural network trained to detect patterns within the image of the marine environment associated with one or more predefined objects, and to output detection information regarding a presence or absence of the one or more predefined objects within the image of the marine environment.

An object detection system for a marine vessel having at least one marine drive, the object detection system comprising:
- at least one image sensor positioned on the marine vessel and configured to capture an image of a marine environment on or around the marine vessel;
- a processor;
- and
- an image scanning module executable on the processor that receives the image as input, the image scanning module including an artificial neural network trained to detect patterns within the image of the marine environment associated with one or more predefined objects, and to output detection information regarding a presence or absence of the one or more predefined objects within the image of the marine environment.
A method of detecting a presence of one or more objects in a marine environment of a marine vessel, the method comprising:
- training an artificial neural network to detect patterns associated with a predefined object in images of a marine environment;
- recording an image with at least one image sensor positioned on the marine vessel;
- providing the image as input to the artificial neural network;
- and
- outputting detection information regarding a presence or absence of the object within the image.
