Abstract

Maritime surveillance contributes in the security of ports, oil platforms, and coastal littoral by detecting unusual activities such as unlicensed fishing boats, pirate attacks, and human trafficking, by monitoring and controlling a maritime region. The maritime surveillance systems face many design challenges. For instance, these systems must track moving vessels at long distances in the presence of a dynamic background, using infrared imaging and under various weather conditions. This work presents a benchmark study of the performance of different state of the art tracking algorithms for marine vehicles using mid-wave infrared (MWIR) images. A comprehensive study was conducted to indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the tracking algorithms.
