仅用一张雷达图推断船只航向与未来位置,无需额外数据
HARBOR: Heading Analysis and Reconstruction from Behavioral Observation and Radar

- 基于骨架几何与局部强度分析估算船只航向
- 离线校准后生成未来位置概率热图,准确率超85%
- 适合无AIS信号的海上监控场景,如冲突或信号中断
海上态势感知通常依赖自动识别系统(AIS)传输数据追踪船舶动态,但在操作或冲突场景中,这些数据可能因信号丢失、故意关闭或欺骗而不可用。此时,合成孔径雷达(SAR)成为广域海上监测的关键替代手段,尽管仅提供静态图像。本文提出HARBOR(基于行为观测与雷达的航向分析与重建)完整流程,仅需单张SAR图像,在推理阶段无需任何辅助数据源即可生成预测运动信息。方法首先对SAR图像进行预处理以增强并分割候选船只,随后通过自动检测、基于尺寸的分类及利用骨架几何与局部强度模式估计航向。仅在离线校准阶段使用AIS数据,获取不同船型的运动参数,并据此生成候选未来位置的概率热图。基于真实COSMO-SkyMed SAR影像的案例研究显示,该方法可在南巴西海域有效提取船舶运动趋势,并在无数据环境下生成可靠的未来位置预测。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Maritime situational awareness often relies on Automatic Identification System (AIS) transmissions to track vessel movements. However, in operational or conflict scenarios, these data may be unavailable due to signal loss, deliberate deactivation, or intentional spoofing. In such conditions, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery becomes a critical sensing alternative for wide-area maritime monitoring, despite providing only static scene snapshots. This work introduces HARBOR (Heading Analysis and Reconstruction from Behavioral Observation and Radar), a complete pipeline for transforming a single SAR image into predictive motion information without requiring any auxiliary data source at inference time. The method begins with SAR image preprocessing to enhance and segment vessel candidates, followed by automatic detection, size-based classification, and heading estimation using skeleton geometry and local intensity patterns. AIS data are used exclusively during an offline calibration phase to derive vessel-type-dependent motion parameters, which are then applied to generate probabilistic heatmaps of candidate future vessel positions. A case study using real COSMO-SkyMed SAR imagery demonstrates the pipeline on a maritime scene in southern Brazil, showing its ability to extract motion tendencies and generate probabilistic projections of vessel positions in data-denied environments.
