Depends on what you call 'quite easy'. In the terminology of http://fishbowl.pastiche.org/2007/07/17/understanding_engineers_feasibility/ http://fishbowl.pastiche.org/2007/07/17/understanding_engine... , it's still a 'hard' problem. There are tens of thousands if not an order of magnitude more objects and reflections of that size in the ocean. It certainly is not a 'computer vision 101' project. 'Computer vision 101' is 'do edge detection using opencv', not 'build a complete system that interfaces near-realtime with satellite imagery sources that can do very detailed analysis, but without a real definition of what we're looking for, on huge amounts of data'.
