AMASS SRC 10 - Ostende AMASS Border surveillance at sea
Overview • Introduction (What is AMASS ?) • Objective • AMASS system components • Command control center • Summary Carl Zeiss Optronics, Michel Honlet, ZeO - EF
Introduction (What is AMASS ?) Autonomous Maritime Surveillance System (AMASS) Collaborative Project SEC-2007-3.3-02 Project no. 218290 Carl Zeiss Optronics, Michel Honlet, ZeO - EF
Introduction Maritime border security is a very complex subject Carl Zeiss Optronics, Michel Honlet, ZeO - EF
Introduction • Until now, maritime border surveillance through: • Patrol boats • Aerial surveillance • Civilian information (merchant ships, coincidence) • Very expensive • No blanket coverage Carl Zeiss Optronics, Michel Honlet, ZeO - EF
Introduction • Objects to be detected are • small and mid-sized boats • with very small radar reflections • therefore practically undetectable • Humanitarian tragedies • Economic impact Carl Zeiss Optronics, Michel Honlet, ZeO - EF
Introduction The consortium Carl Zeiss Optronics, Michel Honlet, ZeO - EF
Objective • Develop an autonomous maritime surveillance system installed on a buoy consisting of: • Optical and acoustic sensors • Image stabilization • Image processing and alarm generation • Autonomous power supply • Transmission of image/ video/ alarm/ status data to command centre • Management software for users Carl Zeiss Optronics, Michel Honlet, ZeO - EF
AMASS system components Carl Zeiss Optronics, Michel Honlet, ZeO - EF
AMASS system components • SENSORS (1) : Hydrophones • Several sensors • Parallel operation • Data merger • Directional information Carl Zeiss Optronics, Michel Honlet, ZeO - EF
AMASS system components • SENSORS (2) : Optronics • Uncooled infrared module • Stabilized platform • Intelligent image processing • Challenges: • 3D motion of the buoy (roll, heave, pitch) • Positional information in real time Carl Zeiss Optronics, Michel Honlet, ZeO - EF
AMASS system components • Image processing • Uncooled infrared module • Stabilized platform • Intelligent image processing • Recognition of the horizon • Target recognition • Classification • Target tracking Carl Zeiss Optronics, Michel Honlet, ZeO - EF
Command control center • Data integration C3 • Status information • Position (GPS) • Alarms • Video/image material Carl Zeiss Optronics, Michel Honlet, ZeO - EF
Summary • Buoy optimized for interaction with sensors Carl Zeiss Optronics, Michel Honlet, ZeO - EF
Summary • Buoy optimized for interaction with sensors • Passive stabilization • Autonomous power supply • Digital radio transmission • Merger of all data in C3 Carl Zeiss Optronics, Michel Honlet, ZeO - EF
