Maritime Situation Awareness Capabilities from Satellite and Terrestrial Sensor Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Maritime situation awareness is supported by a combination of satellite, airborne, and terrestrial sensor systems. This paper presents several solutions to process that sensor data into information that supports operator decisions. Examples are vessel detection algorithms based on multispectral image techniques in combination with background subtraction, feature extraction techniques that estimate the vessel length to support vessel classification, and data fusion techniques to combine image based information, detections from coastal radar, and reports from cooperative systems such as (satellite) AIS. Other processing solutions include persistent tracking techniques that go beyond kinematic tracking, and include environmental information from navigation charts, and if available, ELINT reports. And finally rule-based and statistical solutions for the behavioural analysis of anomalous vessels. With that, trends and future work will be presented.

متن کاملKINGFISHER: Total Maritime Awareness System (Demonstration)
Continuous monitoring of naval activities of vast areas, hundreds of nautical miles away from shoreline, is one of todays most challenging problems. To enable total maritime awareness in these areas, the use of satellite-based sensors is an efficient and cost-effective way to perform this task. The KINGFISHER (Figure 1) is a maritime multi-layer intelligence system created for an in-depth analy...
متن کاملImproving Situation Awareness in the Maritime Domain
Organizations in the maritime safety and security domain have to cope with complex situations at sea, harbors, and rivers to maintain acceptable levels for safety and security. For safety, traffic rules apply at sea. Yet in areas with heavy traffic, it is difficult to tell which vessels adhere to traffic rules and which ones do not. For security, suspicious activities such as drugs smuggling ne...
