Component

The ARPA, Automatic Radar Plotting Aid Targets, is a standard feature which is able to detect moving vessel and widely supported by marine radars, however, it often complicates the noise and channel structures into vessels and confuses the navigators. With the help of speed, course and position characteristics, it is possible to build an artificial intelligence based on Dempster-Shafer rule to distinguish the targets. The Dempster-Shafer rule is adopted for its powerful characters of combining all the evidences, which is similar to the procedure of manual judgment. In the field testing, the new approach is able to distinguish the vessel targets at the accuracy of 88.1%, which is helpful for the navigation and maritime safety.

Alternate title: Dempster-Shafer Rule-Based Method to Distinguish Automatic Radar Plotting Aid Targets with Their Motion Features. This paper was sponsored by TRB committee AW040 Marine Safety and Human Factors.
