Research on Intelligent Parsing Technology of High-Resolution Hydrological Data for Ship Intelligent Navigation

Jianan Luo, Zhichen Liu, Tianle Wang

To address the demand for high-precision, high-efficiency, and standardized hydrographic information in intelligent shipping, this study systematically investigates key technologies for high-resolution hydrographic data parsing and intelligent information services. Focusing on the East China Sea, a space–air–ground integrated monitoring data access system is established. A hybrid data assimilation method combining four-dimensional variational (4D-Var) and ensemble Kalman filter is adopted to realize quality control, deep fusion, and optimal state estimation of multi-source heterogeneous hydrographic observations. A hybrid tidal harmonic response model is further developed to improve the refined forecasting accuracy of tide levels and ocean currents. A hierarchically decoupled system architecture is designed, and modules for data production, sharing, exchange, and visualization are developed in compliance with the international S-100 standard. By integrating hybrid spatiotemporal indexing, multi-level caching, and intelligent query optimization, the system achieves low-latency and high-concurrency service capabilities. Experimental results show that, compared with conventional models, the proposed framework reduces tidal forecast RMSE by approximately 15.8% under extreme weather, raises the continuity index of current vectors to 0.93, and cuts the S-100 product generation latency to less than 30 s. This research establishes a full-chain technical system from data parsing and product generation to intelligent services, providing a reliable technical support platform for ship intelligent navigation, dynamic route planning, and maritime safety assurance.
