      Wang, Yufei; Perera, Lokukaluge Prasad Channa; Batalden, Bjørn-Morten Erdal (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-22)
      Considering the distortion errors of projected coordinates and the switching property of vessel heading, coordinate conversion and switching correction methods are proposed to modify a kinematic motion model and the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). The coordinate conversion method utilizes the grid convergence from a Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection to correct the vessel heading. The ...

      Advanced ship predictors can generally be considered as a vital part of the decision-making process of autonomous ships in the future, where the information on vessel maneuvering behavior can be used as the source of information to estimate current vessel motions and predict future behavior precisely. As a result, the navigation safety of autonomous vessels can be improved. In this paper, vessel ...
