AIS-Based Radar Error Correction Using a Vision Transformer Variant for Range and Azimuth Error Reduction [PDF]
Shore-based maritime surveillance radars suffer from systematic range and azimuth errors that degrade target-tracking accuracy. This paper proposes a Vision Transformer (ViT) variant that corrects these errors using Automatic Identification System (AIS ...

Novasar-S and maritime surveillance
The paper shows a new algorithm for ship-detection from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. The algorithm consists of three main stages: pre-processing, detection and discrimination. In the pre-processing a land mask is obtained considering the different statistics between the sea and the land's backscattered field; the detection stage isolates the ...

Integrated visual information for maritime surveillance [PDF]
The main contribution of this chapter is to provide a data fusion (DF) scheme for combining in a unique view, radar and visual data. The experimental evaluation of the performance for the modules included in the framework has been carried out using publicly available data from the VOC dataset and the MarDT - Maritime Detection and Tracking (MarDT) data
