Who are we?

The eXtraordinary AI Lab (XAI-LAB) aims to develop cutting-edge capability to detect, monitor and understand subsea and marine activities, including condition of supporting infrastructures and surrounding environments, using the full range of state-of-the-art platforms and sources for data acquisition, visualisation, analysis, interpretation and prediction.

The lab uses sophisticated sensing and AI machine learning techniques to sense, analyse, understand and interpret the conditions of the ocean, where multimodal sensing platforms can be combined to measure and assess the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the infrastructures, marine life and the environmental factors. The outcomes can then be used to optimise decision making whilst mitigating the associated risks and reducing the costs towards a net zero ocean in the future. 

Hyperspectral Scanning System
@XAILab

The Hyperspectral lab directed by Prof. Jinchang Ren includes UV-Vis, Vis-NIR and SWIR hyperspectral imaging cameras with more than 1000 spectral bands in total, covering the full spectral range of 250nm-2500nm.

This unique device can be used for multiple purposes including:

  • non-destructive inspection of ocean and subsea infrastructures

  • material grading and assessment in manufacturing

  • food/drink quality assessment

  • medical diagnosis

  • land mapping

  • pharmaceutical and precision agriculture
