OCULUS Sea™ Forensics: An Anomaly Detection Toolbox for Maritime Surveillance

摘要

Maritime Surveillance command and control (C2) systems play a crucial role in ensuring the marine traffic safety and maritime border security. Through efficient integration of various sources (UAV, aircrafts, GIS data) and legacy systems (e.g. AIS, Radar, VMS) a more complete situational awareness picture of the activities at sea can be accomplished. This enhanced knowledge can be used to improve the detection capabilities related to vessel anomaly behavior and increase the efficiency, coordination, and quality of operational activities against existed maritime threats. In this paper, we present the Forensics toolbox of the OCULUS Sea maritime surveillance C2 platform which offers vessel anomaly behavior detection functionalities such as (ⅰ) Gap in Reporting, (ⅱ) Speed Change, (ⅲ) Fake MMSI, (ⅳ) Risk Incident, and (ⅴ) Collision Notification. The performance effectiveness of the Forensics toolbox has been successfully tested under real world scenarios while its further enhancement is a work in progress.
