Underwater Acoustic Event Detection & Vessel Re-identification — NCIIPC AI Grand Challenge (PS12)
End-to-end deep-learning system for underwater acoustic event detection, multi-class classification and vessel re-identification, operating directly on raw passive-sonar waveforms through a learned, multi-scale selective-kernel front end. Delivered strong, well-calibrated classification across acoustically diverse classes under India’s national-security AI Grand Challenge (NCIIPC / Startup India).

Technical partner building the deep-learning core for automated recognition of vessels from passive-sonar signatures: compact acoustic fingerprints enabling match-or-flag-as-new decisions, designed for in-house, frozen-model deployment with no data egress and no retraining.
