Abstract: In recent years, with the complexity of Marine traffic and the popularization of asynchronous sensor acquisition, the prerequisite of traditional uniform sampling is broken, and the data time series presents the non-uniform characteristics of "disordered time interval and dense mutation features", which makes the Marine moving target calculation face more and more challenges of non-uniform sampling data. In order to cope with the shortcomings of traditional methods in abrupt change modeling and time structure adaptability, this paper systematically analyzes the key influencing factors based on a large number of simulation data, and designs a hybrid model architecture with the ability of short-term abrupt change response and long-term dependence modeling. In this paper, we propose a hybrid deep regression model (STC-BiLSTM-Attention) that integrates spatio-temporal convolution, bidirectional LSTM and attention mechanism, which can realize high-precision adaptive calculation method optimization. The model uses SCT module to extract local spatio-temporal features, BiLSTM to model long-range dependence, and self-attention mechanism to focus on key time points, so as to enhance the modeling ability of nonuniform sequence. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an average prediction accuracy of 89.75% across five independent datasets. In scenarios characterized by non-uniform sampling and high dynamic maneuverability, the position calculation error rate is reduced to 8.52%, which is substantially lower than that of the Kalman filter (21.36%) and the manual calculation approach (27.84%). Ablation studies further validate that the synergistic interaction between the STC module and the attention mechanism significantly enhances model accuracy. This highlights the method's superior capability in addressing tasks involving both short-term abrupt changes and long-term dependencies, thereby offering robust technical support for auxiliary decision-making under complex maritime conditions.
