Published purpose

This project is linked to ship detection. Although dark ships do not transmit Automatic Identification System (AIS), they can still be detected by satellites. However, precious time is wasted between the time of acquiring an image and establishing a correlation between the dark ship and the radar image captured. This project will evaluate how radar and optical images can be combined to detect and track dark ships more rapidly.
