Description
XOCEAN, an ocean data company operating a fleet of uncrewed survey vessels, streams seabed survey data directly to AWS and is building AI, deployed on AWS infrastructure, to automate interpretation of seabed imagery such as identifying and measuring boulders that geophysicists currently review manually. The goal is real-time pass/fail assessments during surveys, which the company expects could cut project schedules by ten days to two weeks per site.

Problem
The seabed at survey sites is scattered with hundreds of thousands of boulders that must be viewed and measured; this is currently done manually by a human and takes a lot of time.
…icists time As data volumes increase, automation has become the next priority. "The seabed is scattered with hundreds of thousands of boulders in a particular survey area. AI is going to help us view and measure them. At the moment that is done by a human and it takes an awful lot of time," says Beechey. By using AI built and deployed on AWS infrastructure, XOCEAN is…
