Artificial intelligence-guided shark detection drones are the next step in beach safety
Surfers know they share the waters they love with sharks, but technology may soon offer some added protection from a possible encounter.
Key points:
- Autonomous drones don’t require a line-of-sight operator
- Technology is almost at a point where sharks can be reliably detected and identified in real-time from drones using artificial intelligence
- Autonomous surveillance would allow drones to patrol for longer periods over longer stretches of coastline
