MACHINE VISION
FOR SAFETY AT SEA
oscar in action
OSCAR detects floating objects early, using thermal and optical cameras to catch even objects that escape conventional systems such as Radar or AIS: unsignalled craft, floating obstacles, buoys, inflatables, kayaks and persons over board.

how it works
OSCAR computes input from lowlight and thermal cameras, using latest Machine Vision technology, best-in-class deep learning capabilities and a proprietary database of millions of annotated marine objects.

We are proud to make the most challenging races in the world safer for its competitors.
OSCAR alerted me to several very small boats that I could hardly see under the spinnaker, behind the waves, one of which was right in our path. [...] The worst was avoided. Thanks OSCAR

I think OSCAR is the perfect complement to the current monitoring devices. OSCAR’s strength lies in its reliable alarm, which other systems don't necessarily feature.

The OSCAR system is excellent for safety, sailing alone or with a crew, it doesn't matter, nobody can see at night or in bad weather.

OSCAR detected twice, small fishing boats that we couldn’t see due to the swell. OSCAR was ringing but we couldn’t see anything. We finally spotted something and succeeded to avoid a collision.

Reliable safety, easy to use.
