Performance assessment of vessel dynamic models for long-term prediction using heterogeneous data
(CMRE, 2019/06)
Ship traffic monitoring is a foundation for many maritime security domains, and monitoring system specifications underscore the necessity to track vessels beyond territorial waters. However, vessels in open seas are seldom ...
Maritime situational awareness use cases enabled by space-borne sensors
(CMRE, 2019/06)
This paper discusses a technique for predicting a vessel?s position over a long time horizon with much lower uncertainty than current methods. Lowering the uncertainty of long-range prediction is a key challenge in maritime ...
Long-term vessel kinematics prediction exploiting mean-reverting processes
(CMRE, 2019/06)
Long-term target state estimation of non-manoeuvring targets, such as vessels under way in open sea, is crucial for maritime security. The dynamics of non-manoeuvring targets is traditionally modelled with a white noise ...
Prediction of rendezvous in maritime situational awareness
(CMRE, 2019/05)
In this work, we consider the problem of algorithmically predicting rendezvous among vessels based on their trajectory forecasts in a maritime environment. The problem is treated as hypothesis testing on the expected value ...
Anomaly detection and tracking based on mean-reverting processes with unknown parameters
(CMRE, 2019/05)
Piecewise mean-reverting stochastic processes have been recently proposed and validated as an effective model for long-term object prediction. In this paper, we exploit the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) dynamic model to represent ...
Consistent estimation of randomly sampled Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process long-run mean for long-term target state prediction
(CMRE, 2019/06)
In this letter, we study the problem of estimating the long-run mean of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) stochastic process and its effect on the long-term prediction of future vessel states, which is a crucial problem for ...
Modeling vessel kinematics using a stochastic mean-reverting process for a long-term prediction
(CMRE, 2019/06)
We present a novel method for predicting long-term target states based on mean-reverting stochastic processes. We use the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process, leading to a revised target state equation and to a time scaling ...
Model performance assessment for long-term vessel prediction using HFSW radar data
(CMRE, 2019/06)
Vessels in open seas are seldom continuously observed. Thus, the problem of long-term vessel prediction becomes crucial. This paper focuses its attention on the performance assessment of the Ornstein- Uhlenbeck target ...
Bayesian track-to-graph association for maritime traffic monitoring
(CMRE, 2019/05)
We present a hypothesis test to associate ship track measurements to an edge of a given graph that statistically models common traffic routes in a given area of interest. The association algorithm is based on the hypothesis ...
Scalable distributed change detection and its application to maritime traffic
(CMRE, 2019/06)
Building on a novel methodology based on the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process to perform accurate long-term predictions of future positions of ships at sea, we present a statistical approach to the detection of abrupt changes ...
