Abstract:Density maps support a bird’s eye view of vessel traffic, through providing an overview of vessel behavior, either at a regional or global scale in a given timeframe. However, any inaccuracies in the underlying data, due to sensor noise or other factors, evidently lead to erroneous interpretations and misleading visualizations. In this work, we propose a novel algorithmic framework for generating highly accurate density maps of shipping activities, from incomplete data collected by the Automatic Identification… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
