The unmanned surface vessel (USV) trajectory with spatial and temporal information plays an important role in its positioning and navigation. Unlike traditional trajectory reconstruction methods, this paper proposes a novel method based on the automatic identification system (AIS) for USV. Aside from the AIS data applied for restoring the USV’s trajectory, the proposed method considers the constraints of the vessel’s navigation state, maneuvering factors and time stamps. This method consists of three steps: AIS data restoration, Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) denoising and Fermat’s spiral fitting. Firstly, AIS data restoration is applied to eliminate abnormal data. Next, the EMD noise reduction algorithm is used to reduce the jitters and interference of Speed over Ground (SOG) and Course over Ground (COG) components, and the denoised latitude and longitude positions are calculated using the kinematics model of the vessel. Finally, a curve fitting process based on Fermat’s spiral is employed to reconstruct a smoother trajectory. Several experiments illustrate that the low-cost AIS equipment is compatible with the navigation system of the USV. The reference trajectory is determined by Global Position System (GPS) and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) modules in USV. Compared to conventional methods, the residual errors of the proposed method is smaller. The results show that the novel trajectory reconstruction method is effective and can be applied to USV’s positioning and navigation.
