the SYREN project
SYREN Project Objectives
SYstème de REconnaissance des Navires
(Ship Recognition System)
Today
The main objective of the SYREN project, led by InSilio within the Sea Competitiveness Pole, is to provide a low-cost solution for ships movement monitoring in marinas and harbours to:
- increase security of goods and people (theft from the sea)
- insure a better exploitation and animation of
marinas
- illegally parked ships
- yield management and optimization
In the near future
SYREN is planned to allow a full tracking of every ship within the harbour/marina area.
General Technical Presentation
System based upon automatic reading and shapes/caracters recognition (OCR)
