Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research is related to a system which detects non-AIS ships automatically and shares the information of them under tracking using AIS binary message. The HOG-SVM was evaluated as the potential solution for the automatic detection mean, but the quality was not reached. On the other hand, the information of non-AIS ship under tracking by ARPA was successfully shared with AIS binary message in the experiment. Such the system can be beneficial for the safety of the small boats which only equipped with a AIS receiver.
