Oh this is so cool! This is all vessels rather than just fishing vessels? My students attempted similar using SAR + YOLO for a short project last year, but they struggled to detect enough objects. I’ll have to share this with them :)
This is all vessels. And using imagery (sar or optical) up there is going to be horribly difficult because the density of vessels is low and the density of icebergs is high.
Wow, that is amazing. I'd always thought of the northern passage over Canada being the most commonly used route, but the route around Russia is the one that is highly used.
Yeah, that’s didn’t realize that either until I made the map. You can also see how critical those rivers in northern Russia must be for transportation—but only for half the year!
