Because global warming has led to heavier maritime traffic in the Canadian Arctic, there is a growing need for accurate maps of this region. Unfortunately, for a number of Canada's coastlines, the data is out of date, or even non-existent. Until now, ocean depth has been measured primarily through field surveys, using methods that are very costly and time-consuming. Effigis Geo-Solutions has come up with a solution that aims to map and monitor the depth of coastal waters using satellite images processed with the help of artificial intelligence. The system will be able to detect changes that seabeds may undergo, before those seabeds pose a threat.
