WHY SHIP IDENTIFICATION?

• Ship detection is important for marine security.
• This is done through the use of an Automated Identification System (AIS).
• AIS uses VHF radio frequencies.
• It fails to detect those ships  those which disconnect their VHF transponder.
• This is where satellite imagery and image processing come to rescue.
