Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to describe the application of Matlab for the design
of the sensor network within a real-world Maritime Surveillance System. In
the phase of planning and solution preparation of new Maritime Surveillance
System project, it is necessary to analyse the zones of monitoring, sensors ar-
rangement, and spatial distribution in order to make the best decision. With
a goal to define the observation zone of interest, a software solution is made
in Matlab using built-in functions for location computing in World Geodetic
System, a graphical representation in Google Earth and a library that supports
working with Google Earth formats for export. The sensors supported in this
Maritime Surveillance System are Electro-Optical systems – multi-sensor
cameras, X-band and Ku-band microwave radars and High Frequency Over
The Horizon Radars. With this software solution, a particular sensor’s ob-
servation zones, along with global coverage zone are determined at the real
location. Coverage diagrams are plotted as Google Earth objects, generating
a KML export file. In this way, easy manipulation over potential solutions
is provided, with high flexibility and portability, leading to a more detailed
assessment and decision making in Maritime Surveillance System design.
