AI tool to help
underwater nature
Solving the problems of underwater and beach litter, vegetation and animal migration by using drones and AI computer vision
What Is necogi?
AI detection
done right.
With necogi it is possible to leverage powerful hand crafted convolutional neural network trained on over 10 000 images to detect
- Underwater garbage plastic bottles, batteries, shopping bags, tires, shoes and many more
- Vegetation track growth and progress of underwater plants like posidonia oceanica
- Animals visualize migrations of animals like sea urchin, noble pen shell or fan mussel

Getting rid of macroplastics to reduce microplastic concentration in the seas and rivers. Helping animals by reducing deadly plastic bags, straws and aluminum cans.
1Collect data
Quick area coverage
Custom algorithms to cover desired area in shortest time, augmented with software to help organize and visually inspect raw input data.
2Do the work
Optimized For Underwater Images
With over 10 000 images that were collected over all seasons, weather conditions, water properties, wave intensity, we trained our neural network to detect various types of garbage, vegetation and animals.
3Easy to customize
Make It Your Own
Use ML transfer learning to repurpose detector while maintaining our custom made pipeline.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you might want to know about necogi, how we built it and where it's heading.
01What is necogi?
necogi is a AI tool that uses drone images to get information about underwater things
02Where did you get your training dataset?
We spent hours and hours inspecting our shore, taking drone images, labeling and annotating thousands of images. All of the data is collected by us.
03Can I try it?
We're working very hard to have it production level ready. However, we can demo it to you.
04Can you send me the data?
It's just for internal use and we cannot offer guarantees yet.
05Where can I see it in action?
Contact us and we can schedule some live demo (during capture phase and/or detection)
06Why not UAV?
Of course, we plan to use that in the future. However, those are not accessible as air drones, need to have cable and generally are not fast in covering large areas.
07Where are you from?
We're from Split, Croatia. Cleaning and taking care of our sea is something we are taught from a young age.
08Do you need my help?
Sure thing, use contact form on this page to get in touch with us.
