The strict security and confidentiality of naval systems have long hindered the development of high-quality machine learning (ML) models for ship detection and recognition at sea. Ansys AVxcelerate Sensors™ and Ansys optiSLang revolutionize this process by generating synthetic, high-fidelity camera images to train deep neural networks (DNNs). This innovation expands the operational design domain, enhances automated decision-making in previously unseen scenarios, and reduces costs associated with building realistic virtual environments. Additionally, it eliminates the data limitations imposed by military restrictions, making AI-powered naval sensing more efficient, scalable, and secure than ever before. 🚢✨
