Abstract
With the development of low-carbon economy, inland river transportation has been attracting more and more attention in China. At the same time, driven by some economic benefits, the ship overload phenomenon continues to occur. Therefore, overloaded ship detection has been a key factor for reducing marine traffic accidents. This paper presents a robust method for detecting overloaded ship and the proposed algorithm includes three stages: ship detection, ship tracking, and overloaded ship identification. Ship detection is a key step and the concept of ship tracking is built on the ship-segmentation method. According to the segmented ship shape, we propose a predict method based on Kalman filter to track each ship. The data of ship length and ship speed will be used to identify overloaded ship. The proposed method has been tested on a number of monocular ship image sequences and the experimental results show that the algorithm is robust and real-time.
