Automated fish documentation processes are in the near future expected to play an essential role in sustainable fisheries management and for addressing challenges of overfishing. In this paper, we present a novel and publicly available…
The implementation of the AI Act requires practical mechanisms to verify compliance with legal obligations, yet concrete and operational mappings from high-level requirements to verifiable assessment activities remain limited, contributing…
Aquaculture production -- the cultivation of aquatic plants and animals -- has grown rapidly since the 1990s, but sparse, self-reported and aggregate production data limits the effective understanding and monitoring of the industry's trends…
Location-aware networks will introduce new services and applications for modern convenience, surveillance, and public safety. In this paper, we consider the problem of cooperative localization in a wireless network where the position of…
The hydrodynamic performance of a sea-going ship can be analysed using the data obtained from the ship. Such data can be gathered from different sources, like onboard recorded in-service data, AIS data, and noon reports. Each of these…
Accurate recognition of vessel types from Automatic Identification System (AIS) tracks is essential for safety oversight and combating illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) activity. This paper presents a strait-scale, machine-learning…
Submarine cables play a critical role in global internet connectivity, energy transmission, and communication but remain vulnerable to accidental damage and sabotage. Recent incidents in the Baltic Sea highlighted the need for enhanced…
Camera-based electronic monitoring (EM) systems are increasingly being deployed onboard commercial fishing vessels to collect essential data for fisheries management and regulation. These systems generate large quantities of video data…
Ship trajectories from Automatic Identification System (AIS) messages are important in maritime safety, domain awareness, and algorithmic testing. Although the specifications for transmitting and receiving AIS messages are fixed, it is well…
Modeling vessel activity at sea is critical for a wide range of applications, including route planning, transportation logistics, maritime safety, and environmental monitoring. Over the past two decades, the Automatic Identification System…
Uses of underwater videos to assess diversity and abundance of fish are being rapidly adopted by marine biologists. Manual processing of videos for quantification by human analysts is time and labour intensive. Automatic processing of…
Controlling fish feeding machine is challenging problem because experienced fishermen can adequately control based on assumption. To build robust method for reasonable application, we propose automatic controlling fish feeding machine based…
In-situ visual observations of marine organisms is crucial to developing behavioural understandings and their relations to their surrounding ecosystem. Typically, these observations are collected via divers, tags, and remotely-operated or…
Fishing activities have broad impacts that affect, although not exclusively, the targeted stocks. These impacts affect predators and prey of the harvested species, as well as the whole ecosystem it inhabits. Ecosystem models can be used to…
Fish feeding behavior analysis is a key foundation for intelligent feeding and precision aquaculture management, and plays an important role in improving feed utilization efficiency, reducing production costs, and mitigating environmental…
This study presents a machine learning approach to predict the number of barges transported by vessels on inland waterways using tracking data from the Automatic Identification System (AIS). While AIS tracks the location of tug and tow…
In addition to moving people and goods, ships can spread disease. Ship traffic may complement air traffic as a source of import risk, and cruise ships - with large passenger volumes and multiple stops - are potential hotspots, in particular…
Sea fishing is a highly mobile activity, favoured by the vastness of the oceans, the absence of physical boundaries and the abstraction of legislative boundaries. Understanding and anticipating this mobility is a major challenge for…
Unsustainable exploitation of the oceans exacerbated by global warming is threatening coastal communities worldwide. Accurate and timely monitoring of maritime activity is an essential step to effective governance and to inform future…
The constant growth of maritime traffic leads to the need of automatic anomaly detection, which has been attracting great research attention. Information provided by AIS (Automatic Identification System) data, together with recent…
