Claim 12:
13. A method of identifying an object at least partially immerged in a water area, said method comprising the steps of:
generating by a capturing module at least one sequence of images of said water area,
providing spatial data comprising at least an inclination angle, relatively to the terrestrial horizontal axis, of the support on which the capturing module is mounted,
identifying at least one object in said at least generated sequence of images using an artificial neural network, wherein the identification step comprises the sub-steps of detecting at least one object in the at least one generated sequence of images, of extracting a set of features from said at least one detected object, of comparing said extracted set of features with at least one predetermined set of features associated with a predefined object, and of identifying the at least one object when the extracted set of features matches with the at least one predetermined set of features,
estimating the distance, the speed and the direction of the at least one identified object using the at least one sequence of images and said inclination angle,
tracking the at least one identified object in the at least one sequence of images.
