用上下文感知的自编码器提升船舶监控中的异常检测精度

The detection of anomalies is crucial to ensuring the safety and security of maritime vessel traffic surveillance. Although autoencoders are popular for anomaly detection, their effectiveness in identifying collective and contextual anomalies is limited, especially in the maritime domain, where anomalies depend on vessel-specific contexts derived from self-reported AIS messages. To address these limitations, we propose a novel solution: the context-aware autoencoder. By integrating context-specific thresholds, our method improves detection accuracy and reduces computational cost. We compare four context-aware autoencoder variants and a conventional autoencoder using a case study focused on fishing status anomalies in maritime surveillance. Results demonstrate the significant impact of context on reconstruction loss and anomaly detection. The context-aware autoencoder outperforms others in detecting anomalies in time series data. By incorporating context-specific thresholds and recognizing the importance of context in anomaly detection, our approach offers a promising solution to improve accuracy in maritime vessel traffic surveillance systems.
