This paper aims at the segmentation of seafaring vessels in optical satellite images, which
allows an accurate length estimation. In maritime situation awareness, vessel length is an …

An important surveillance task during naval military operations is early risk assessment of
vessels. The potential risk that a vessel poses will depend on the vessel type, and vessel …

For maritime situational awareness, it is important to identify currently observed ships as
earlier encounters. For example, past location and behavior analysis are useful to determine …

Naval ships have camera systems available to assist in performing their operational tasks.
Some include automatic detection and tracking, assisting an operator by kee** a ship in …

In maritime operational scenarios, such as smuggling, piracy, or terrorist threats, it is not only
relevant who or what an observed object is, but also where it is now and in the past in …

Long-term tracking is important for maritime situational awareness to identify currently
observed ships as earlier encounters. In cases of, for example, piracy and smuggling, past …

Our world is constantly changing, and this has its effect on worldwide military operations. For
example, there is a change from conventional warfare into a domain that contains …

The growing interest in unmanned surface vehicles, accident avoidance for naval vessels
and automated maritime surveillance leads to a growing need for automatic detection …

We evaluate the performance of different key-point detectors and region descriptors when
used for automatic classification of small sea targets in infrared video. In our earlier research …

It is important to stably extract horizon lines for sea-based infrared search and track. Most of
the existing solutions for the problems only use single image to detect horizon line. Although …
