"Shandong Province Marine Intelligent System and Equipment Technology Innovation Center" (hereinafter referred to as the "Innovation Center") was approved for establishment by the Shandong Provincial Department of Science and Technology in January 2021. The Innovation Center is based on the School of Information Science and Engineering of Ocean University of China, and is jointly integrated with CSIC Ocean Equipment Research Institute and Qingdao Jerry Industrial Control Technology Co., Ltd. It integrates the strengths of eight provincial and ministerial-level engineering centers and laboratories, including the National-Local Joint Engineering Research Center for Marine Big Data, the Ministry of Education Engineering Research Center for Marine Information Technology, and the Key Laboratory of Marine Information Detection and Digital Ocean Technology in Shandong Province. With a focus on four key research directions: marine intelligent detection, marine intelligent information, marine intelligent equipment, and intelligent marine applications, the Innovation Center will fully leverage its strengths in basic research, technological innovation, talent cultivation, scientific research investment, and industrialization to promote major scientific and technological achievements in marine science research, marine detection technology R&D, marine information technology development, marine environmental monitoring, marine resource protection, marine engineering technology development, and related fields. The main research directions of the Innovation Center include:
(1) Marine intelligent detection technology includes ocean acoustics, ocean optics, and marine remote sensing technology. The key breakthroughs are high-end intelligent sensors such as sound/optical/electrical/magnetic and new marine intelligent detection systems to provide innovative detection technology for marine science research, environmental protection, resource development, and utilization.
(2) Marine intelligent information technology includes cross-domain communication, underwater acoustic communication, satellite navigation and communication systems, image processing and pattern recognition, underwater vision, and smart oceans. The key breakthroughs are advanced communication in deep-sea, frontier theories, and applications of intelligent perception and information processing, realizing global marine high-sensitivity 3D visualization, providing scientific research, management, and decision-making services for the three major scientific and technological frontiers of "transparent ocean," "blue granary," and "ocean floor resources."
(3) Marine intelligent equipment focuses on the development and application of star/machine/ship-borne marine electronic instruments and equipment, important marine equipment and platforms such as underwater robots, buoys, and subsurface buoys. The key breakthroughs are new marine instruments, marine electronic chips, large-scale marine engineering equipment, intelligent underwater mobile platforms, intelligent observation systems, and other bottleneck technologies to provide research and application services for intelligent and systematic marine unmanned system technology.
Intelligent oceanic applications focus on environmental protection in key areas of the two oceans and one sea, military-civilian integration applications, mainly involving coastal ecosystems, and exploration of underwater resources. The key breakthroughs are accurate prediction, dynamic updating, and real-time pushing of marine environmental and acoustic fields and electromagnetic field environments, gradually forming a layout for the industrialization of marine environmental information.
