  2. 2/28 Overview The Problem Machine Learning/Pattern Recognition Classification Clustering Learning Behavioural Patterns Application Data Methods Summary

  3. 3/28 Background: The Problem Maritime Threats Smuggling Trafficking Poaching/Illegal Fishing Threat Evaluation Detection Prediction Why? Limited resources Vast area

  4. 4/28 Background: EEZ Exclusive Economic Zone

  5. 5/28 Background: Awarenet Maritime area surveillance system Sense, detect & track Recognise/identify Assess threat Complex System Integration of external data Data Processing Class estimation Behavioural analysis Intent estimation/threat level [1]

  6. 6/28 MLPR: Introduction Standard classifier Feature Selection Feature Extraction

  8. 8/28 MLPR: Classification Iris Data

  9. 9/28 MLPR: Regression Chirps

  10. 10/28 MLPR: Learning Training a classifier But does such a system 'learn'?

  11. 11/28 MLPR: Supervised/Unsupervised Supervised: Classifier trained on labelled examples Predict class of unseen instance Unsupervised No labels System must 'discover' structure

  12. 12/28 Learning Behavioural Patterns (LBP) Computer Vision Video surveillance Event Recognition Detection/classification of highway lanes Design of virtual spaces Behaviour Analysis Ecological modelling Pedestrian movement

  13. 13/28 LBP: Data Considerations Spatio-temporal analysis Noise

  14. 14/28 LBP: Towards Coastal TE Why this approach? Vessels movement not random Persistent sensors Volumes of data Requirements Online Anomaly/novelty detection Flexible/robust Measure of uncertainty
