Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” LINE), TIS Inc. (“TIS”) and Miotsukushi Analytics Inc. (“Miotsukushi”) have jointly developed a draft survey application.
This new product is designed to use artificial intelligence (AI) to recognise the water surface and the draft mark from the image captured with a smartphone and to display the accurate draft level with the impact of waves removed on the screen to help accurately measure the draft.
The jointly developed automatic draft survey application makes use of the “AI and data analysis service” offered by TIS and Miotsukushi and combines smartphones with the AI to supplement draft measurement that traditionally depended on the experience of maritime professionals with the AI.
As a result, the new application can equalise the degree of safety in navigation and cargo operations and maximise the cargo transportation volume. It is designed for smartphones and can be used at sea where Internet access is unavailable because the processing is completed locally at the terminal.
