Conference Presentation - IEEE OCEANS25 in Brest

Description

Participation and presentation at the IEEE OCEANS25 conference in Brest, France.
Presentation of our conference paper "Belief Propagation-Based Sensor Fusion for Monitoring Dynamic Maritime Environments and Autonomous Navigation".

Description complémentaire

We present a distributed multi-sensor multi-target
tracking algorithm for maritime surveillance using unmanned
surface vehicles (USVs) in multi-agent settings. Our approach
fuses measurements from radar, Automatic Identification System
(AIS), and camera sensors within a Bayesian framework, employing
an adaptive particle filtering strategy to jointly estimate
the kinematic states and identities of vessels. Our solution
incorporates a factorized data association model that integrates
cooperative self-reports from AIS with radar and camera measurements,
with visual re-identification capability. We evaluate
our method using a high-fidelity simulation environment, which
generates photorealistic maritime scenarios. Our performance
analysis indicates that the integration of camera-based cues
improves both the spatial localization and identity consistency,
particularly in scenarios with low radar detection probability and
non-cooperative targets. Furthermore, the distributed inference
framework scales well with the number of USVs, making it
well suited for large-scale multi-agent applications. Overall, our
work demonstrates that fusing heterogeneous sensor modalities
using belief propagation can enhance multi-target tracking performance
in congested maritime environments.
