An Interactive and Plotted Data Visualization of High Frequency Doppler Radar Ship Detection and Tracking Software for Maritime Surveillance

Data is everyone's need in each field of human life, either individuals or groups and whether in each personal, company, business, organization, government, etcetera. Because it is a factual source of information and knowledge that one can use for a more accurate, reliable and intelligent decision-making along each struggle, challenges and needs. These data are either machine-readable, also known as structured data that requires computer programs to process or a human-readable which is also known as unstructured data that needs a person to interpret the information. This study will be dealing with the High Frequency Doppler Radar (HFDR) data, a structured data processed and analyzed using the algorithms for Ship Detection and Tracking. Moreover, processing and analyzing these data are not enough because human brain tends to find patterns more efficiently when data is presented. Thus, a visual representation of these processed data was carried out as a result of this study so that decision makers could easily figure out the complete picture of the system-generated information consisting the plotted detections and track records.
