Integrated Visual Information for Maritime Surveillance

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 set, containing data coming from different real VTS systems, with ground truth information. Moreover, an operative scenario where traditional VTS systems can benefit from the proposed approach is presented.
