Abstract

Maritime data, such as Automatic Identification System (AIS)-based, are characterized as high volume and complex. Utilizing these data and discovering potential value is challenging for the maritime domain. This paper provides a framework for visual analysis of ship trajectory data. This framework first performs a wrangling process to get clean data. Then the density of ships over the map is estimated by the kernel density estimator (KDE). Furthermore, an interactive 3D model is carried out based on the estimated density for further analysis. We applied the framework to analyze the shipping traffic in the Qiongzhou Strait of China. The results prove that our framework can efficiently depict the ship's trajectory and regional ship operation and analyze the ship's behavior in a local area. We assert our work can fruitfully support further analysis and prediction of the ship's movement mode and detection of abnormal behavior.
