# Holographic detection of AIS real-time signals based on sparse representation

EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, Apr 2019

To use the existing Automatic Identification System (AIS) shore stations for positioning so that the AIS can be used as an additional land-based positioning system for coastal vessels is a cutting-edge research topic, responding to the call of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). In order to use the ship-borne AIS for positioning function, a holographic detection of AIS real-time signal based on sparse representation is presented in this paper. Considering the working environment and the requirement of AIS real-time signal processing, a novel fast noise resistance Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithm is presented. Furthermore, the choice and detection of the timestamp of the reconstructed signal is analyzed and carried out which will be used in the ranging system. The experiment results indicate that the proposed fast noise resistance OMP algorithm can greatly reduce the processing time, and the difference in processing time increases with the number of iterations. The improvement in noise immunity is also obvious, and the error rate reduces at about 9% under the same SNR. The timestamp of the reconstructed signals can be detected successfully. It shows that the holographic detection of AIS real-time signal is achieved satisfactorily.
