Application oc AI to Ship identification

Ship Identification:
The navy has a project that they are working on that has to do with the correct identification of ships from images. The accurate identification of ships in real time can be a very difficult thing. A prototype has been made that using AI technology helps the human interpret (make sense of, or give a meaning to) images of ships. The system has been tested on more than 100 images of 10 similar classes of ships, and it got the correct identification 84 percent of the time. Getting the correct identification of the ships can be a really difficult task. The aim is to identify the ships within a few minutes of detection. To any normal person, identification of ships seems really easy but there are thousands of classes of ships used by the Navy, so it makes it very hard for a human to identify them. The images are hard to read because of many reasons such as weather, turbulence, lightning interference, and viewing angle. All these things joined with the fact that there thousands of classes of ships that sail the sea, makes it hard for humans to make accurate decisions so we can understand why there is a need for us to this system.
