AI tool helps ships avoid whale strikes, now leading cause of whale mortality

WhaleSpotter’s thermal detection unit, roughly the size of a shoebox, uses infrared imaging and AI to detect whale spouts and body heat up to 4 nautical miles ahead of a vessel. Mounted high on the vessel with a user interface modeled on a radar display, the system can be installed in under an hour without drydock, providing crews with nighttime and low-visibility whale detection along busy shipping routes.
