Next Step for Big Data Infrastructure and Analytics for the Surveillance of the Maritime Traffic from AIS & Sentinel Satellite Data Streams

Abstract

International audienceThe surveillance of the maritime traffic is a major issue for security and monitoring issues. Spaceborne technologies, especially satellite AIS ship tracking and high-resolution imaging, open new avenues to address these issues. Current operational systems cannot fully benefit from the available and upcoming multi-source data streams. In this context, SESAME initiative aims to develop new big-data-oriented approaches to deliver novel solutions for the management, analysis and visualisation of multi-source satellite data streams going beyond the CLS implementation. Targeted at the automatic generation and documenting of early warnings, our key originality lies in a big-data approach to jointly address these challenges based on the complementarity of the scientific and operational expertise gathered in the consortium: big-data platforms, mining strategies for time series and trajectory data, Sat-AIS signal analysis, high-resolution satellite imaging
