shipdataprocess provides packages and modules that help users process raw ship data. The data may come from Automatic identification system (AIS) transmission or others. Ship data includes vessel's name, callsign, shiptype, geartype information etc. You might find the packages here useful for normalizing ship names and IRCS (International Radio Call Sign) and for dealing with various types of ships and fishing gears. Typical usage often looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from shipdataprocess.normalize import normalize_shipname, normalize_callsign

from shipdataprocess.shiptype import determine_shiptype, make_shiptype_dict, reduce_to_specifics, reduce_to_specifics_with_multiples

from shipdataprocess.standardize import standardize_imo, standardize_float, standardize_str, standardize_int_str, standardize_time, standardize_flag, standardize_geartype

from shipdataprocess.collapse import non_zero_mean, non_zero_std, most_common_value, most_common_num, most_common_str, str_attached, min_time, max_time

This work was done based on the previous work of the team of Global Fishing Watch (GFW).
