Coast Guard Cheong Promotes 'AI Video Recognition System' for Coastal Accident Response Including Mudflat Isolation

The Korea Coast Guard announced on the 26th that it plans to introduce artificial intelligence technology in the field of maritime safety to prevent coastal accidents involving human casualties.

Following its selection as an institution for the '2025 Inter-Ministerial Collaboration-Based AI Expansion Project,' the Coast Guard will develop an AI model that recognizes various coastal hazard situations through video by collaborating with ministries including the Ministry of Science and ICT, and apply it in the field.

The AI model will be built to analyze tidal changes of high and low tides to predict the risk of mudflat accidents, and to grasp on-site weather and human casualty status, thereby suggesting more efficient response measures.

Due to the vast nature of coastal waters, it was difficult to respond adequately only through patrols by coast guards or reports from witnesses, but with the introduction of AI, it is expected to respond quickly and accurately to various accidents such as mudflat isolation, fishing boat fires, and high waves along the coast.

Ahn Seong-sik, Planning and Coordination Officer of the Korea Coast Guard, said, "There are limits to preventing and responding to accidents in all coastal waters with limited personnel," adding, "We will continue to strive to improve national maritime safety by applying advanced future technologies such as artificial intelligence."
