Data-driven detection and context-based classification of maritime anomalies
(CMRE, 2019/06)Discovering anomalies at sea is one of the critical tasks of Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) activities and an important enabler for maritime security operations. This paper proposes a data-driven approach to anomaly ... -
Realistic ship model for extended target tracking algorithms
(CMRE, 2019/06)Recent developments in high resolution sensors have encouraged the use of Extended Target Tracking (ETT) algorithms specifically designed to deal with targets that generate more than one detection per frame. At the same ... -
Converted measurements Bayesian extended target tracking applied to X-band marine radar data
(CMRE, 2019/06)X-band marine radar systems are flexible and low-cost tools for monitoring multiple targets in a surveillance area. They can provide high resolution measurements both in space and time. Such features offer the opportunity ... -
METOC-driven Vessel Interdiction System (MVIS): supporting decision making in Command and Control (C2) systems
(CMRE, 2019/06)This paper presents a decision support system (DSS) to help Command and Control (C2) operators. Hereby, the METOC-driven vessel interdiction system (MVIS) is presented. It is aimed to help the decision-making process in ... -
A communications and relative navigation architecture for underwater vehicle coordination

Passive acoustic surveillance of surface vessels using tridimensional array on an underwater glider
(CMRE, 2019/06)The NATO-STO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) has proposed to approach the problem of monitoring marine traffic in defined sea areas by using passive acoustics on a mobile underwater platform, in ... -
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 ... -
Multiple sensor measurement updates for the extended target tracking random matrix model
(CMRE, 2019/06)In this paper, multiple sensor measurement update is studied for a random matrix model. Four different updates are presented and evaluated: three updates based on parametric approximations of the extended target state ... -

(CMRE, 2019/06)Computational Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) supports the maritime industry, governments, and international organizations with machine learning and big data techniques for analyzing vessel traffic data available ... -
In-situ acoustic received level measurements with glider based reactive behaviour
(CMRE, 2019/06)Buoyancy-driven underwater gliders are typically employed to sample the water column environment in the ocean [1]. As one of the efforts of extending the capabilities of traditional underwater gliders, CMRE has been working ... -
Cooperative robotic networks for underwater surveillance: an overview
(CMRE, 2019/06)Underwater surveillance has traditionally been carried out by means of surface and undersea manned vessels equipped with advanced sensor systems. This approach is often costly and manpower intensive. Marine robotics is an ... -
Multiple Bayesian extended target tracking
(CMRE, 2019/06)To track an extended target presents challenges because the hypothesis of "one target means one detection" is not valid. Several approaches to extended target tracking (ETT) have been found promising, and in particular ... -
Performance evaluation of underwater medium access control protocols: at-sea experiments
(CMRE, 2019/06)In this paper, we investigate the performance of three medium access control (MAC) protocols (CSMA, TLohi, and DACAP) representing simple, intermediate, and fully negotiated protocols, to access the underwater acoustic ... -
A distributed approach to estimating sea port operational regions from lots of AIS data
(CMRE, 2019/06)Seaports play a vital role in the global economy, as they operate as the connection corridors to all other modes of transport and as engines of growth for the wider region. But ports today are faced with numerous unique ... -
