This paper enhances the obstacle avoidance of Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) for safe navigation in high-traffic waters with an active state estimation of obstacle's passing intention and reducing its uncertainty. We introduce a…
Recently, advances in machine learning techniques have attracted the attention of the research community to build intrusion detection systems (IDS) that can detect anomalies in the network traffic. Most of the research works, however, do…
This study explores the usefulness of machine learning classifiers for modeling freight mode choice. We investigate eight commonly used machine learning classifiers, namely Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machine, Artificial Neural Network,…
Maritime domain awareness is critical for protecting sea lanes, ports, harbors, offshore structures and critical infrastructures against common threats and illegal activities. Limited surveillance resources constrain maritime domain…
Tracking fish movements and sizes of fish is crucial to understanding their ecology and behaviour. Knowing where fish migrate, how they interact with their environment, and how their size affects their behaviour can help ecologists develop…
Visual object tracking performance has been dramatically improved in recent years, but some severe challenges remain open, like distractors and occlusions. We suspect the reason is that the feature representations of the tracking targets…
We present a method to improve the accuracy of a foot-mounted, zero-velocity-aided inertial navigation system (INS) by varying estimator parameters based on a real-time classification of motion type. We train a support vector machine (SVM)…
For an autonomous surface vessel (ASV) to dock, it must track other vessels close to the docking area. Kayaks present a particular challenge due to their proximity to the dock and relatively small size. Maritime target tracking has…
Knowledge about vessel activity in port areas and around major industrial zones provides insights into economic trends, supports decision-making for shipping and port operators, and contributes to maritime safety. Vessel data from…
Starting from 2021, more demanding $\text{NO}_\text{x}$ emission restrictions were introduced for ships operating in the North and Baltic Sea waters. Since all methods currently used for ship compliance monitoring are financially and time…
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…
Detecting Internet routing instability is a critical yet challenging task, particularly when relying solely on endpoint active measurements. This study introduces TRACE, a MachineLearning (ML)pipeline designed to identify route changes…
Underwater surveys conducted using divers or robots equipped with customized camera payloads can generate a large number of images. Manual review of these images to extract ecological data is prohibitive in terms of time and cost, thus…
