AIR AND SEA BASED FISHING DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Flight based marine object search, detection and identification systems and related techniques include an unmanned aerial system (UAS) having a flight platform configured to execute a search path to search for an underwater object, an imaging system comprising image capture components configured to generate a stream of images corresponding to a field of view of the UAS, and a logic device associated with the UAS and configured to analyze the stream of images using a marine video analysis (MVA) system to detect a region of interest comprising an underwater object, identify an underwater object in the detected region of interest, and notify a mobile structure of the identified object.
