A Multi-Feature Ensemble Learning Classification Method for Ship Classification with Space-Based AIS Data

AIS (Automatic Identification System) is an effective navigation aid system aimed to realize ship monitoring and collision avoidance. Space-based AIS data, which are received by satellites, have become a popular and promising approach for providing ship information around the world. To recognize the...
