Researchers map the oceans to uncover ‘dark vessels’ and offshore structures

Researchers used neural networks to analyze satellite and radar images and found that a large portion of the world’s fishing and energy vessels operate as “dark vessels,” not publicly sharing their location. They developed deep learning models to classify vessels and offshore structures, revealing insights into global maritime activities and concerns about illegal fishing.
