Adaptive filtering of imprecisely time-stamped measurements with application to AIS networks
(CMRE, 2019/06)Driven by real-world issues in maritime surveillance, we consider the problem of estimating the target state from a sequence of observations that can be imprecisely time-stamped. That is, the time between two consecutive ... -
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 ... -
Automated port traffic statistics: from raw data to visualization
(CMRE, 2017/11)We describe how we leveraged best practices in big data processing pipeline design and visual analytics to prototype the Maritime Patterns-of-Life Information Service (MPoLIS), an information product currently under ... -
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 ... -
Context for maritime situation awareness
(CMRE, 2019/06)Effective maritime situation awareness (MSA) relies on high-level information fusion tasks that benefit from a formal approach to context-based reasoning. This chapter discusses the relative notion of context through the ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Detecting anomalous deviations from standard maritime routes using the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process
(CMRE, 2019/05)A novel anomaly detection procedure based on the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) mean-reverting stochastic process is presented. The considered anomaly is a vessel that deviates from a planned route, changing its nominal velocity ... -
Detection, tracking and fusion of multiple HFSW radars for ship traffic surveillance: experimental performance assessment
(CMRE, 2014/05)Low-power HF surface-wave radars fit well the role of long-range early-warning tools in maritime situational awareness applications, by virtue of their over-the-horizon coverage capability and continuoustime mode of ... -
Extended target tracking applied to X-band 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 are able to provide high resolution measurements in both space and time. Such features offer the ... -
Extracting acoustic source information of shipping noise for dynamic ambient noise modelling
(CMRE, 2019/05)Shipping traffic is one of the largest contributors to anthropogenic noise in the ocean. Noise generated by merchant ships elevates natural occurring ambient noise level by 20-30 dB in many areas of the world?s ocean. In ... -
Glider-based seabed characterization using natural-made ambient noise
(CMRE, 2019/06)Seabed characteristics (geoacoustic properties and scattering strength) are critical parameters for sonar performance predictions. However, this bottom information is considered very difficult and expensive to achieve in ... -

Hybrid Bernoulli filtering for detection and tracking of anomalous path deviations
(CMRE, 2019/05)This paper presents a solution to the problem of sequential joint anomaly detection and tracking of a target subject to switching unknown path deviations. Based on a dynamic model described by Ornstein- Uhlenbeck (OU) ... -
The impact of sea state on HF surface-wave radar ship detection and tracking performances
(CMRE, 2019/06)Nowadays, we face an ever increasing interest in new technologies and solutions for the maritime surveillance (MS) domain. In such a context, oceanographic high-frequency surface-wave (HFSW) radars have started to get ... -
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 ... -

Localization of small surface vessels through acoustic data fusion of two tetrahedral arrays of hydrophones
(CMRE, 2014/01)Detection and tracking of vessels is important in confined areas such as marine parks or harbors. Nowadays, the presence of ships can be accurately monitored either by radar or via AIS system, while small vessels, which ... -
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 ...
