Automatic Collision Avoidance System, “OSCAR,” Brings Peace of Mind to Sailors
Sailors may not need to look out for bicyclists or pedestrians while on the open ocean, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of collision risks for boats to encounter. BSB Artificial Intelligence, a machine vision and artificial intelligence company based out of Austria, France, and Portugal, has developed a product similar to the FLIR Advanced Driver Assistance System, which helps drivers safely detect and avoid road hazards. Called OSCAR, this sea-based system uses FLIR thermal imaging technology to detect and avoid floating objects that might otherwise be difficult to see.
