This system uses algorithms developed by Transport Canada to automatically detect obstructions in Canadian waterways. It supports government employees responsible for waterway safety and navigability monitoring. The system processes data about waterway conditions and produces outputs to flag potential hazards. Members of the public are not direct users, but the safety of Canadian waterways affects all mariners and communities along those waterways.
