Asynchronous Trajectory Matching-Based Multimodal Maritime Data Fusion for Vessel Traffic Surveillance in Inland Waterways
Yu Guo, Ryan Wen Liu, Jingxiang Qu, Yuxu Lu, Fenghua Zhu, Yisheng Lv
The automatic identification system (AIS) and video cameras have been widely exploited for vessel traffic surveillance in inland waterways. The AIS data could provide the vessel identity and dynamic information on vessel position and movements. In contrast, the video data could describe the visual appearances of moving vessels, but without knowing the information on identity, position and movements, etc. To further improve vessel traffic surveillance, it becomes necessary to fuse the AIS and video data to simultaneously capture the visual features, identity and dynamic information for the vessels of interest. However, traditional data fusion methods easily suffer from several potential limitations, e.g., asynchronous messages, missing data, random outliers, etc. In this work, we first extract the AIS- and video-based vessel trajectories, and then propose a deep learning-enabled asynchronous trajectory matching method (named DeepSORVF) to fuse the AIS-based vessel information with the corresponding visual targets. In addition, by combining the AIS- and video-based movement features, we also present a prior knowledge-driven anti-occlusion method to yield accurate and robust vessel tracking results under occlusion conditions. To validate the efficacy of our DeepSORVF, we have also constructed a new benchmark dataset (termed FVessel) for vessel detection, tracking, and data fusion. It consists of many videos and the corresponding AIS data collected in various weather conditions and locations. The experimental results have demonstrated that our method is capable of guaranteeing high-reliable data fusion and anti-occlusion vessel tracking.
