Integrated Visual Information for Maritime Surveillance

Surveillance systems for the maritime domain are becoming more and more important. However, available technology still provides only a limited support to this kind of applications. In this book chapter, we describe a framework for intelligent surveillance in the maritime domain, designed for fusing information from heterogeneous sources. Electro-optical cameras are used as main sensors, in orde...

An Intelligent Information System for Maritime Navigation Information

This paper describes aspects of an information system being constructed for intelligent information retrieval in maritime navigation applications. The system is based largely on digital nautical charts, and the construction of a taxonomy of chart features and concepts related to the maritime navigation domain is described. This taxonomy is used in formulating queries and sub-queries for dispara...
