Multimodal Detection of Dark Ships

This dataset contains a collection of videos consisting of satellite imagery augmented with 3D ship models, accompanied by the ships' corresponding AIS data. The intention of this dataset is for detecting dark ships, which are sea vessels acting maliciously, often while spoofing their AIS data. Multiple datasets exist that consist of satellite imagery of ships, however this dataset has the advantage of including each ships' corresponding AIS data. The simulated ships include both normal and anomalous behavior, whether the anomalous behavior is benign or malicious.

Within the dataset are videos from a static view of PortMiami. The videos comprise 30 days of a 15-minute time window at the same time and of the same view of PortMiami. A single AIS data file is included, consisting of the AIS data for all ships visible in all 30 videos. There are also added columns in the AIS data to be used as ground truth information for different ship behaviors.

The video data was generated using AGI's Simulation Tool Kit (STK).
