Target object detecting device, method of detecting a target object and computer readable medium

This device helps ships detect various objects in the water or air around them using echo signals, like radar. It works by taking these signals, turning them into an image, and then feeding that image into a computer model trained with machine learning. This model identifies specific objects that are not the ship itself, such as birds, schools of fish, rocks, ice, or even weather phenomena like rain and clouds.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in machine learning model efficiency and deployment. Modern ML frameworks make building and deploying robust detection models from echo images more feasible and accurate now.
