In the existing research, the context information is ignored, which limits the improvement of ship target recognition ability. In addition, the process of trajectory feature extraction is complex, and recognition accuracy needs to be further improved. In this paper, a ship target recognition method based on a context-enhanced trajectory is proposed. The maritime context knowledge base is constructed to enhance the trajectory information and to improve the separability of different types of target trajectories. A deep learning model is used to extract trajectory features and context features automatically. Offline training and online recognition are adopted to complete the target recognition task. Experimental analysis and verification are carried out using the automatic identification system (AIS) dataset. The recognition accuracy increases by 7.91% after context enhancement, which shows that the context enhancement is efficient. The proposed method also has a strong anti-noise ability. In the noisy environment set in this paper, the recognition accuracy of the proposed method is still maintained at 86.13%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi11120584","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,23]],"date-time":"2022-11-23T03:15:24Z","timestamp":1669173324000},"page":"584","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Ship Target Recognition Based on Context-Enhanced Trajectory"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Zhan","family":"Kong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Information Fusion, Naval Aviation University, Yantai 264001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yaqi","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Information Fusion, Naval Aviation University, Yantai 264001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Information Fusion, Naval Aviation University, Yantai 264001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhenyu","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Information Fusion, Naval Aviation University, Yantai 264001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pingliang","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Information Fusion, Naval Aviation University, Yantai 264001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Zou, Y., Zhao, L., Qin, S., Pan, M., and Li, Z.
