Knowledge-based ship tracking applied to HF surface wave radar data
(CMRE, 2019/06)In recent years, low-power high-frequency surface-wave radars have received significant attention thanks to their over-the-horizon coverage capability and the continuous-time operation mode. These radars have become effective ... -
Forward looking sonar mosaicing for mine countermeasures
(CMRE, 2019/06)Forward looking sonars (FLS) are nowadays popular for many different applications. In particular, they can be used for Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) in the context of Mine Countermeasures. Currently, ATR techniques ... -
Mining maritime vessel traffic: promises, challenges, techniques
(CMRE, 2019/06)This paper discusses machine learning and data mining approaches to analyzing maritime vessel traffic based on the Automated Information System (AIS). We review recent efforts to apply machine learning techniques to AIS ... -
AUV active perception: exploiting the water column
(CMRE, 2019/06)Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) present a low-cost alternative or supplement to existing underwater surveillance networks. The NATO STO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation is developing collaborative ... -
Experiments with multi-vehicle operations: the Rapid Environmental Picture Atlantic exercise 2014
(CMRE, 2019/06)The paper describes the Rapid Environmental Picture Atlantic exercise 2014 (REP14-Atlantic), with special focus on the experiments with autonomous underwater, surface and air vehicles, and discusses how large scale ... -
Real-time continuous active sonar processing
(CMRE, 2019/06)This work describes the development of continuous active sonar (CAS) processing at CMRE. The software uses subband processing to achieve a faster update rate than is possible with pulsed active sonar (PAS). The software ... -
Variable structure interacting multiple model algorithm for ship tracking using HF surface wave radar data
(CMRE, 2019/06)These last decades spawned a great interest towards low-power High-Frequency (HF) Surface-Wave (SW) radars for ocean remote sensing. By virtue of their over-the-horizon coverage capability and continuous time mode of ... -
NEMO: An architecture for software communications research in the maritime domain
(CMRE, 2019/06)This paper presents a high-level overview of NEMO, an implementation of a communications research software workspace with special focus on application scenarios involving underwater (e.g. acoustic), and other maritime ... -
Multisensor adaptive Bayesian tracking under time-varying target detection probability
(CMRE, 2019/06)In practical tracking applications, the target detection performance may be unknown and also change rapidly in time. This work considers a network of sensors and develops a target-tracking procedure able to adapt and react ... -
A robust, opportunistic clock synchronization algorithm for ad hoc underwater acoustic networks
(CMRE, 2019/06)The proliferation of deployed sea-going autonomous platforms, such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), unmanned surface vehicles (USV), and sensor nodes anchored to the seabed, makes the deployment of true underwater ... -
Learning with privacy in consensus + obfuscation
(CMRE, 2019/06)We examine the interplay between learning and privacy over multiagent consensus networks. The learning objective of each individual agent consists of computing some global network statistic, and is accomplished by means ... -
From data to decision: an overview of CMRE's information supply chain
(CMRE, 2019/06)Proper data curation is a prerequisite for the creation of long-lasting value from scientific datasets and for the generation of authoritative data-driven decision support tools. Availability of detailed information on ... -
HLA interoperability for ROS-based autonomous systems
(CMRE, 2019/06)The requirements for autonomous systems (of systems) have started to include the cooperation between heterogeneous assets in order to accomplish complex missions. Therefore, interoperability - both at the conceptual and ... -
Extended target tracking using joint probabilistic data association filter on X-band radar data
(CMRE, 2019/06)X-band Marine radar systems are low-cost tools for monitoring multiple targets in a surveillance area. Although they may suffer from several sources of interference, high resolution measurements in both space and time can ... -
Underwater optical and acoustic imaging: a time for fusion? a brief overview of the state-of-the-art
(CMRE, 2019/06)Underwater optical imaging has several drawbacks inherent to the physical medium such as light attenuation and turbidity. Sonars try to obviate those issues although, typically, they have lower resolutions. Combining visual ... -
Scalable and distributed sea port operational areas estimation from AIS data
(CMRE, 2019/06)Seaports are spatial units that do not remain static over time. They are constantly in flux, evolving according to environmental and connectivity patterns both in size and operational capacity. As such any valid decision ... -
Converted measurements random matrix approach to extended target tracking using X-band marine radar data
(CMRE, 2019/06)Conventional tracking algorithms rely upon the hypothesis of one detection per target for each frame. However, very fine spatial resolution radars represent widespread systems that provide data for which this hypothesis ... -
