Abstract

Many ships have AIS devices that can provide information such as the types of ships, which can help the maritime authorities manage the marine traffic in a better way. However, when some ships do not have AIS devices installed or turn off these devices, it is desirable to identify the types of ships by the trajectory features provided by radar. In order to achieve this goal, first, the trajectories are generated based on the obtained AIS points and radar points, and then the radar trajectories are associated with the AIS trajectories to obtain the labels of the radar trajectories. Next, three types of features of radar trajectories are extracted. Due to the small amount of experimental data and the problem of class imbalance, this paper proposes a heterogeneous ensemble learning method based on EasyEnsemble and SMOTE when training the ship classification model. The experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to homogeneous ensemble learning and heterogeneous ensemble learning without SMOTE methods. Moreover, the method can identify almost all the minority class samples and has certain application value.
