Split port surveillance using artificial intelligence and high performance computing

Smart Cities use digital technology for strengthening citizens’ welfare and to improve their quality of life while at the same time taking care of the preservation of the environment and natural resources in accordance with the UN Sustainable Development Agenda. Although every smart city has practically the same mission, the way city government plans to accomplish this mission and the goals that it defines depends on the particularities of the city itself and its ecosystem. Technology plays a key role to rethink the way smart city is organized. It helps to gather information, to deploy efficient solutions and policies and to enable new communication channels relying upon broadband and mobile technology, big data, cloud and HPC services, artificial intelligence and machine learning, sensors, hyperconnectivity, etc. The city of Split is a typical Mediterranean city, tourist centre and the main port of Dalmatia. The port of Split is a transit canter for all Dalmatian islands. The beautiful beaches of Split attract many tourists. Marinas in Split and Kaštela Bay are convenient starting point for nautical tourism along the Dalmatian coast. All that results in heavy activities in the Split harbour and coast waters. The safety of maritime traffic within Split port as well as bathers on the beaches is of great importance. Here, the technology can help a lot. University of Split, Faculty of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and naval architecture has designed and developed a prototype for Split harbour traffic monitoring based on image processing and artificial intelligence described in this paper.
