Abstract

This paper addresses the role of uncertainty in spatial point-process models, such as those that might arise in modelling ship traffic. We consider a doubly stochastic Poisson point process where the intensity function is uncertain. To assess the role of uncertainty, we conduct a large set of numerical trials where we estimate a doubly stochastic Poisson point-process model from historical target data, and the evaluate the model by assessing the target detection performance of a set of sensors whose locations are selected using the model. Our work is motivated by seabed sensors that detect ship traffic, and we conduct numerical trials using historical ship traffic data near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia, USA, that was recorded by the Automated Identification System.
