description Automatic identification systems (AIS) can record a large amount of navigation information about ships, including abnormal or illegal ship movement information, which plays an important role in ship supervision. To distinguish the trajectories of ships and analyze the behavior of ships, this paper adopts the method of supervised learning to classify the trajectories of ships. First, the AIS data for the ships were marked and divided into five types of ship tracks. The Tsfresh module was then used to extract various ship trajectory features, and a new ensemble classifier based on traditional classification using a machine learning algorithm was proposed for modeling and learning. Moreover, ten-fold cross validation was used to compare the ship trajectory classification results. The classification performance of the ensemble classifier was better than that of the other single classifiers. The average F1 score was 0.817. The results show that the newly proposed method and the new ensemble classifier have good classification effects on ship trajectories.
