Knowledge-aided Multi-Sensor Data Processing for Maritime Surveillance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) is founded on the collection and processing of information from heterogeneous sources, including radars, Navigation Aids (Vessel Traffic Monitoring and Information Systems, Automatic Identification System, Long Range Identification and Tracking System, etc), airbased and space-based monitoring services (Earth Observation), and recentlyconceived passive sensors for maritime surveillance (SIGINT, passive HF/VHF/X band radars). Several strategies for optimally fusing two or more of these information data flows have been proposed for MSA applications. However, the exploitation of context information – i.e. the so-called Knowledge Base – has not yet been thoroughly formulated. This paper provides a preliminary overview of the potential strategies for “knowledge-based” Maritime Multi-Sensor Data Fusion.

Data Fusion Architecture for Maritime Surveillance
Various multisensor data fusion architectures have been utilized to support the Maritime Surveillance (MS) in maritime tactical and strategic operations. The military tactical situation is mechanized through data fusion thus improving the quality of target tracking system. One of the major problems is that the surveillance area is generally large, hence making it difficult to arrive at a feasib...
متن کاملEfficiency of Target Location Scenarios in the Multi-Transmitter Multi-Receiver Passive Radar
Multi-transmitter multi-receiver passive radar, which locates target in the surveillance area by the reflected signals of the available opportunistic transmitter from the target, is of interest in many applications. In this paper, we investigate different signal processing scenarios in multi-transmitter multi-receiver passive radar. These scenarios include decentralized processing of reference ...
متن کاملMass Processing of Sentinel-1 Images for Maritime Surveillance
The free, full and open data policy of the EU’s Copernicus programme has vastly increased the amount of remotely sensed data available to both operational and research activities. However, this huge amount of data calls for new ways of accessing and processing such “big data”. This paper focuses on the use of Copernicus’s Sentinel-1 radar satellite for maritime surveillance. It presents a study...
