New framework enables scalable clustering and anomaly detection for maritime trajectories

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed STCAD, a scalable framework for unsupervised clustering and anomaly detection of maritime trajectories from large Automatic Identification System (AIS) datasets. The system utilizes a custom BERT-based model for encoding variable-length trajectories and the CURE hierarchical clustering algorithm for grouping them without a predetermined cluster count. An intrinsic anomaly detection method identifies irregular navigation patterns based on reconstruction loss and clustering noise assignment, successfully demonstrated on a national-scale AIS dataset.

    STCAD: Scalable Trajectory Clustering and Anomaly Detection on Terabyte-Scale AIS Data

    We present a scalable framework for unsupervised clustering of maritime trajectories derived from terabyte-scale Automatic Identification System (AIS) archives. Variable-length trajectories are encoded with a custom BERT-based model trained via masked token modeling and clustered…
