The purpose of this paper is to study the recognition of ships and their structures to improve the safety of drone operations engaged in shore-to-ship drone delivery service. This study has developed a system that can distinguish between ships and their structures by using a convolutional neural network (CNN). First, the dataset of the Marine Traffic Management Net is described and CNN’s object sensing based on the Detectron2 platform is discussed. There will also be a description of the experiment and performance. In addition, this study has been conducted based on actual drone delivery operations—the first air delivery service by drones in Korea.
