On a Data Fusion Model of the Navigation and Communication Systems of a Ship

Ship mates should be aware of images, numerical values, texts and audio-based information of radar, AIS, NAVTEX, VHF, etc. for safe navigation. However, it is very complicated and difficult for them to acquire such information and use it as data for decision-making for safe navigation while keeping watch for navigation. So, a system to understand, unite and provide multimedia marine information for mates in voice is necessary. This study tries to suggest a data fusion model of the navigation and communication system.
