Title
Applying the Dynamic Region Connection Calculus to exploit geographic knowledge in maritime surveillance
Abstract
Concerns about the protection of the global transport network have risen the need of new security and surveillance systems. Ontology-based and fusion systems represent an attractive alternative for practical applications focused on fast and accurate responses. This paper presents an architecture based on a geometric model to efficiently predict and calculate the topological relationships between spatial objects. This model aims to reduce the number of calculations by relying on a spatial data structure. The goal is the detection of threatening behaviors next to points of interest without a noticeable loss of efficiency. The architecture has been embedded in an ontology-based prototype compliant with the Joint Directors of Laboratories (JDL) model for Information Fusion. The prototype capabilities are illustrated by applying international protection rules in maritime scenarios.
