Maritime Data Annotation Services for Vessel Detection, Surveillance, and Ocean Intelligence

Maritime Data Annotation Services
Maritime AI systems rely on precisely labeled data to detect vessels, track activity, classify ship types, identify environmental hazards, and support real time or historical surveillance. Since maritime environments include dynamic weather, low visibility conditions, complex reflections, and ocean surface variability, annotation must be highly consistent and aligned with domain specific guidelines.DataVLab provides maritime data annotation services for ocean intelligence platforms, maritime surveillance systems, defense and security organizations, port management solutions, autonomous vessel companies, and environmental monitoring teams. Our annotators follow carefully structured workflows tailored to maritime scenes, vessel classes, wake patterns, navigation lanes, and multi sensor datasets.We support bounding boxes, pixel level segmentation, vessel classification, port infrastructure annotation, trajectory labeling, wake and motion pattern annotation, radar and EO/IR fusion datasets, SAR imagery labeling, object tracking across video frames, and anomaly tagging for illegal or unsafe activity. Our workflows adapt to offshore, coastal, harbor, shipping lane, and open ocean contexts.Quality control includes multi pass visual review, vessel class consistency checks, wake and trajectory verification, cross sensor validation for EO/IR and radar datasets, and temporal coherence checks for multi frame video sequences. EU only annotation teams and GDPR aligned processes are available for sensitive surveillance data.Our maritime annotation services help AI teams enhance vessel detection accuracy, monitor port and route activity, support maritime domain awareness, and build more reliable ocean intelligence systems.
High precision annotation for vessel detection, tracking, and classification across maritime environments.
Support for EO, IR, radar, and multisensor maritime imagery used in surveillance and ocean intelligence.
Quality controlled workflows adapted to low visibility, dynamic water surfaces, reflections, and maritime noise patterns.
How DataVLab Supports Maritime AI and Ocean Intelligence
We deliver structured annotation workflows aligned with vessel detection, port analytics, and maritime surveillance models.

Vessel Detection and Classification
Bounding boxes and segmentation across maritime scenes
We annotate vessels of all sizes, from small boats to large cargo ships, including classification by type to support navigation and surveillance models.

EO and IR Maritime Imagery Labeling
Supporting low light and thermal detection
We annotate EO and infrared datasets, identifying vessels, heat signatures, structures, and anomalies for enhanced detection in challenging conditions.

Wake and Trajectory Annotation
Analyzing movement patterns and intent
We label wake trails, course changes, maneuvers, and direction of travel to support behavior modeling and route prediction systems.

Port and Harbor Infrastructure
Supporting maritime logistics and port security
We annotate docks, cranes, piers, shipping lanes, mooring zones, and restricted areas to help computer vision systems map and secure port environments.

Radar and Multisensor Fusion Annotation
Combining radar, EO, IR, and AIS
We label multisensor datasets to improve radar detection, align EO and IR imagery, and support robust fusion for maritime domain awareness.

Anomaly and Illegal Activity Detection
Supporting safety, compliance, and monitoring
We annotate suspicious patterns, dark vessels, route deviations, proximity alerts, and hazards to support automated maritime safety systems.
