Since the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the transportation of cargo by ship has been seriously impacted. In order to prevent and control maritime COVID-19 transmission, it is of great significance to track and predict ship sailing behavior. As the nodes of cargo ship transportation networks, ports of call can reflect the sailing behavior of the cargo ship. Accurate hierarchical division of ports of call can help to clarify the navigation law of ships with different ship types and scales. For typical cargo ships, ships with deadweight over 10,000 tonnages account for 95.77% of total deadweight, and 592,244 berthing ships’ records were mined from automatic identification system (AIS) from January to October 2020. Considering ship type and ship scale, port hierarchy classification models are constructed to divide these ports into three kinds of specialized ports, including bulk, container, and tanker ports. For all types of specialized ports (considering ship scale), port call probability for corresponding ship type is higher than other ships, positively correlated with the ship deadweight if port scale is bigger than ship scale, and negatively correlated with the ship deadweight if port scale is smaller than ship scale. Moreover, port call probability for its corresponding ship type is positively correlated with ship deadweight, while port call probability for other ship types is negatively correlated with ship deadweight. Results indicate that a specialized port hierarchical clustering algorithm can divide the hierarchical structure of typical cargo ship calling ports, and is an effective method to track the maritime transmission path of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Historical Trajectory

It is important for maritime authorities to effectively classify and identify unknown types of ships in historical trajectory data. This paper uses a logistic regression model to construct a ship classifier by utilising the features extracted from ship trajectories. First of all, three basic movement patterns are proposed according to ship sailing characteristics, with related sub-trajectory partitioning algorithms. Subsequently, three categories of trajectory features with their extraction methods are presented. Finally, a case study on building a model for classifying fishing boats and cargo ships based on real Automatic Identification System (AIS) data is given. Experimental results indicate that the proposed classification method can meet the needs of recognising uncertain types of targets in historical trajectory data, laying a foundation for further research on camouflaged ship identification, behaviour pattern mining, outlier behaviour detection and other applications.

Imported Infections

Maritime ports are critical logistics hubs that play an important role when preventing the transmission of COVID-19-imported infections from incoming international-going ships. This study introduces a data-driven method to dynamically model infection risks of international ports from imported COVID-19 cases. The approach is based on global Automatic Identification System (AIS) data and a spatio-temporal clustering algorithm that both automatically identifies ports and countries approached by ships and correlates them with country COVID-19 statistics and stopover dates. The infection risk of an individual ship is firstly modeled by considering the current number of COVID-19 cases of the approached countries, increase rate of the new cases, and ship capacity. The infection risk of a maritime port is mainly calculated as the aggregation of the risks of all of the ships stopovering at a specific date. This method is applied to track the risk of the imported COVID-19 of the main cruise ports worldwide. The results show that the proposed method dynamically estimates the risk level of the overseas imported COVID-19 of cruise ports and has the potential to provide valuable support to improve prevention measures and reduce the risk of imported COVID-19 cases in seaports.

Current fire alarm system can only send fire alarms but failed to report accurately ignition point. So a fire seat intelligent identification system was designed based on wireless sensor networks. The system collects data from wireless sensors using ZigBee wireless communication technology, and carries on cluster analysis on the data set using the improved fuzzy kernel clustering algorithm, and gets accurate clustering results. Finally the ignition source location information is reported to the fire alarm control center. The experimental results show that, compared with other methods, this system realizes real-time monitoring and automatic identification of fire seats, which has virtues of high sensitivity and accuracy and high-speed data transfer.

Abstract We build upon Ordering Points To Identify Clustering Structure (OPTICS), a hierarchical clustering algorithm well-known to be a robust data-miner, in order to produce Halo-OPTICS, an algorithm designed for the automatic detection and extraction of all meaningful clusters between any two arbitrary sizes. We then apply Halo-OPTICS to the 3D spatial positions of halo particles within four separate synthetic Milky Way type galaxies, classifying the stellar and dark matter structural hierarchies. Through visualisation of the Halo-OPTICS output, we compare its structure identica- tion to the state-of-the-art galaxy/(sub)halo nder VELOCIraptor, nding excellent agreement even though Halo-OPTICS does not consider kinematic information in this current implementation. We conclude that Halo-OPTICS is a robust hierarchical halo nder, although its determination of lower spatial-density features such as the tails of streams could be improved with the inclusion of extra localised information such as particle kinematics and stellar metallicity into its distance metric.

An image processing method with Visual C++ is used in the dynamic acquisition and jitter procedure, and identifying the cane-end automatically. The identification system of the cane-end of sugarcane consists of the image acquisition unit, the image processing unit, the identification and control unit. After the digital image of a cane-end is collected, the identification system locates the edge between the cane-end and the body of the sugarcane immediately and automatically via image processing and identification, providing the location information of the cane-end for the following mechanical cane-end cutting method. This system can massively improve the productivity of the cane-end cutting mechanism in a sugarcane harvester.

According to the statistics of maritime accidents, most collision accidents have been caused by human factors. In an encounter situation, the prediction of ship’s trajectory is a good way to notice the intention of the other ship. This paper proposes a methodology for predicting the ship’s trajectory that can be used for an intelligent collision avoidance algorithm at sea. To improve the prediction performance, the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) has been used to recognize the pattern of the ship trajectory. Since the DBSCAN is a clustering algorithm based on the density of data points, it has limitations in clustering the trajectories with nonlinear curves. Thus, we applied the spectral clustering method that can reflect a similarity between individual trajectories. The similarity measured by the longest common subsequence (LCSS) distance. Based on the clustering results, the prediction model of ship trajectory was developed using the bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM). Moreover, the performance of the proposed model was compared with that of the long short-term memory (LSTM) model and the gated recurrent unit (GRU) model. The input data was obtained by preprocessing techniques such as filtering, grouping, and interpolation of the automatic identification system (AIS) data. As a result of the experiment, the prediction accuracy of Bi-LSTM was found to be the highest compared to that of LSTM and GRU.

Clustering is the process of grouping objects into subsets that have meaning in the context of a particular problem. It does not rely on predefined classes. It is referred to as an unsupervised learning method because no information is provided about the "right answer" for any of the objects. Many clustering algorithms have been proposed and are used based on different applications. Sentence clustering is one of best clustering technique. Hierarchical Clustering Algorithm is applied for multiple levels for accuracy. For tagging purpose POS tagger, porter stemmer is used. WordNet dictionary is utilized for determining the similarity by invoking the Jiang Conrath and Cosine similarity measure. Grouping is performed with respect to the highest similarity measure value with a mean threshold. This paper incorporates many parameters for finding similarity between words. In order to identify the disambiguated words, the sense identification is performed for the adjectives and comparison is performed. semcor and machine learning datasets are employed. On comparing with previous results for WSD, our work has improvised a lot which gives a percentage of 91.2%
