If we can recodnize different types of ships on the plane and send back a short code instead of a full image,
it could greatly reduce our bandwidth usage and help keep operating costs down.
We could do a fast YOLO on the image to find something interesting (not ocean or sky) and then
a more careful YOLO just on that part. My guess is that a Raspberry Pi can do this in under
a minute and that would be ok. We are sort of scanning the horizon for ships but it is 50 miles out and
not changing that fast. We will have to experiment and see how accurate and fast it really will be.
