Abstract

Real-time trajectory association and trajectory fusion in maritime surveillance pose great challenges and remain hot issues in security, regional situation monitoring, and long-range precision strikes for both military and civilian applications. High-quality datasets play a pivotal role in advancing research in target tracking and fusion technologies within this domain. This paper addresses the data requirements for technological research in target tracking and fusion, as well as the limitations of currently available datasets, including data scarcity, inadequate scene design specificity, uniform data formats, and incomplete data descriptions. We used simulation software to emulate multi-sensor multi-target detection data in complex scenarios, so as to present a dataset tailored for typical maritime surveillance scenarios—targeting ships using 2D radar and Electronic Support Measures (ESM) sensors. The simulation software comprises a scenario generator and a sensor simulator, creating a mature target tracking scenario simulation environment with realistic detection data modeling capabilities. The dataset includes data from 2D radar and ESM sensors, covering typical maritime ship categories, supporting configurations with radiation sources. It is designed for a variety of scenarios such as high-speed motion, dense traffic, multi-sensor data fusion, specific ship detection, and cross-positioning. The dataset contains a total of 368,155 target tracks from 101 ships, spanning a duration of 15,000 seconds. The data format conforms to actual equipment reporting scenarios, while the detection error model accurately reflects real-world conditions. Accuracy assessment and data completeness are ensured through various methods including normality testing of data error, scenario testing of detection rate and false alarm rate, as well as field research. This dataset can provide fundamental data for algorithmic research and validation in the ship's target tracking, trajectory fusion and other related areas.
