A Deep Learning-Based Fault Detection Model for Optimization of Shipping Operations and Enhancement of Maritime Safety.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The ability to exploit data for obtaining useful and actionable information and for providing insights is an essential element for continuous process improvements. Recognizing the value of data as an asset, marine engineering puts data considerations...

Detection of Inflatable Boats and People in Thermal Infrared with Deep Learning Methods.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Smuggling of drugs and cigarettes in small inflatable boats across border rivers is a serious threat to the EU's financial interests. Early detection of such threats is challenging due to difficult and changing environmental conditions. This study re...

Surveillance of ship emissions and fuel sulfur content based on imaging detection and multi-task deep learning.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Shipping makes up the major proportion of global transportation and results in an increasing emission of air pollutants. It accounts for 3.1%, 13%, and 15% of the annual global emissions of CO, SO, and NO, respectively. Hence, effective regulatory me...

A study on ship collision conflict prediction in the Taiwan Strait using the EMD-based LSSVM method.

PloS one
Ship collision accidents are the primary threat to traffic safety in the sea. Collision accidents can cause casualties and environmental pollution. The collision risk is a major indicator for navigators and surveillance operators to judge the collisi...

Automatic ship classification for a riverside monitoring system using a cascade of artificial intelligence techniques including penalties and rewards.

ISA transactions
Riverside monitoring systems are used for controlling the passage of ships, counting them to prevent overcrowding in a port, or raising an alarm if the ship is unknown or not safe. This type of control and analysis is commonly carried out by many peo...

Adaptive Neural Backstepping Sliding Mode Heading Control for Underactuated Ships with Drift Angle and Ship-Bank Interaction.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
In order to track the desired path under unknown parameters and environmental disturbances, an adaptive backstepping sliding mode control algorithm with a neural estimator is proposed for underactuated ships considering both ship-bank interaction eff...

Microbiome composition and implications for ballast water classification using machine learning.

The Science of the total environment
Ballast water is a vector for global translocation of microorganisms, and should be monitored to protect human and environmental health. This study utilizes high throughput sequencing (HTS) and machine learning to examine the bacterial and fungal mic...

Metabarcoding and machine learning analysis of environmental DNA in ballast water arriving to hub ports.

Environment international
While ballast water has long been linked to the global transport of invasive species, little is known about its microbiome. Herein, we used 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metabarcoding to perform the most comprehensive microbiological survey of ballast...

Adaptive Neural Control of Underactuated Surface Vessels With Prescribed Performance Guarantees.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
This paper presents adaptive neural tracking control of underactuated surface vessels with modeling uncertainties and time-varying external disturbances, where the tracking errors consisting of position and orientation errors are required to keep ins...

High-resolution acoustic surveys with diving gliders come at a cost of aliasing moving targets.

PloS one
Underwater gliders are autonomous robots that follow a slow, see-saw path and may be deployed for months on end. Gliders have a dramatically lower payload capacity than research vessels and are thus limited to more simple instrumentation. They have t...
