Shark nets are a mon solution to preventing shark attacks on beaches, but they cause dangers to sea ecosystems. Seeking a costeffective way to monitor beach safety over large areas, we have developed a system called Shark Spotter. It bines artificial intelligence (AI), puting power, and drone (無人機) technology to identify and warn lifesavers to sharks near swimmers. The project is a cooperation between the University of Technology Sydney and The Ripper Group, which is pioneering the use of drones—called Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers—in the search and rescue movement in Australia. SharkSpotter can detect sharks and other potential threats using realtime aerial imagery. The system analyses video from a camera attached to a drone to monitor beaches for sharks, send warnings, and conduct rescues. Developed with techniques known as deep learning, the Shark Spotter system receives imagery from the drone camera and attempts to identify all objects in the scene. Once certain objects are detected, they are put into one of 16 categories: shark, whale, dolphin, rays, different types of boats, surfers, and swimmers. If a shark is detected, Shark Spotter provides both a visual sign on the puter screen and an audible warning to the operator. The operator confirms the warning and sends text messages from the Shark Spotter system to the Surf Life Savers for further action. In an emergency, the drone is equipped with a lifesaving flotation pod (漂浮倉) together with an electronic shark repellent (驅(qū)逐裝置) that can be dropped into the water in cases where swimmers are in severe trouble, trapped in a rip, or if there are sharks close by. In January 2018, the Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers was used to rescue two young swimmers caught in a rip at Lennox Head, NSW. The drone flew down the beach some 800 meters from the lifeguard station, and a lifesaving flotation pod was dropped from the drone. The plete rescue operation took 70 seconds. We believe Shark Spotter is a winwin for both marine life and beachgoers. This unique technology bines dynamic video image processing AI and advanced drone technology to creatively deal with the global challenge of ensuring safe beaches, protecting environments, and promoting tourism.(1)A Shark Spotter is ________.
