infoceanus command solo

The bottom of the visible light camera is equipped with an adapter for mounting a tripod, so attach the camera arm or other fixing hardware to it and install it in the wheelhouse.

Notes:

It will be higher than sea level. Example: 18.2m

The bow bearing is angled to 0 degrees. If it is 45 degrees to starboard, it will be +45 degrees, and if it is 45 degrees to starboard, it will be -45 degrees.

Since the IMU measures the inclination of the hull (roll angle, pitch angle), the mounting orientation of the IMU should be in the same direction as the bow bearing. Please fix it firmly so that it does not shake due to hull vibration.

The IMU is powered by a USB (Type-A) connector. If you want to install it near an edge server, you can power it from the USB port on the edge server. If not, use the included 5VDC USB adapter to power it.

If you are unable to capture GNSS and GYRO compass signals from your ship, you can install an optional IMU antenna to capture these signals into the system. This antenna needs to be installed outdoors to receive data from satellites. The cable length of the IMU antenna is 8m, including the extension cable, so please pay attention to the mounting position of the IMU itself.

Notes:

There are two types of antennas: MB Base antennas and MB Rover antennas. The MB Base antenna receives the GNSS signal and measures the GYRO compass signal (heading) with two antennas, the MB Base antenna and the MB Rover antenna.

IMU Antenna Connection Position

Connect the MB Base antenna to the top of the antenna connector and the MB Rover antenna to the bottom.

IMU antenna installation orientation

The two IMU antennas should be installed perpendicular to the bow bearing (port side, starboard side).

The satellite measures the position of these two antennas to measure the heading of the ship. Install MB Base antennas on the port side and MB Rover antennas on the starboard side. As for the orientation of the antenna body, there is no problem in any direction.

Changing IMU Settings

When installing the optional IMU antenna, you need to change the data output from the IMU. There are two types of data output by default, pitch angle and roll angle, but we will change it to output GNSS signals and GYRO compass signals as additions.

(Preparations)

Bluetooth communication is standard on the IMU itself, so you can use an Android app such as a smartphone to set it up.

Please download the Android app from the Google Play Store.

Android App Name: Drogger GPS for DG-PRO1

(Setup Procedure)

After launching the above Android app, follow the steps below to connect to the IMU and change the settings.

Connect the power supply of the IMU and start it.

Launch Bluetooth on the device with the Android app installed and click the device (RWS. DCM03).

In your Android device’s system settings, switch the developer option "Temporary Location App" to Drogger GPS.

Settings→ System→ Advanced→ Developer options

→ Select a temporary location app.

Launch the Drogger GPS app installed on your Android device.

Press the Settings button at the top of the screen.

Click Message Output.

Click Message type.

Add a Serial Message type.

PRDID Vehicle y/p/r (yaw, roll, pitch) is set as the default, so check the GGA, VTG, RMC, HDT message types to add them. After adding it, press the OK button.

The heading data output from the IMU is calculated from the position of the IMU antenna installed using the satellite, but if communication with the satellite is not possible, the heading value is output from the orientation of the IMU body. For this reason, initialize the heading value of the IMU itself by following the steps below.

Orient the IMU body to true north (0 degrees).

Press the Start button in the Drogger GPS app to output the IMU value.

The DMP/MB Gyro item displays the yaw angle, roll angle, and pitch angle, click the icon.

Check only the Compass items and press the OK button. This operation resets the yaw angle (heading) to 0 degrees.

The two IMU antennas can be left and right (port side: MB Base antenna, starboard side: MB Rover antenna), but if installation problems do not allow installation on the left or right, it can also be installed in front and rear. In this case, the MB Base antenna is at the rear and the MB Rover antenna is in front. If you want the IMU antenna to be installed in the front and rear directions, please change the settings by following the steps below.

Click "Rover Antenna Position from Base" and select "Fixed/Forward Direction".

Changing the Signal Converter Settings

The above IMU output settings have changed to output GNSS signals and GYRO compass signals, but the data must be delivered to the edge server. To achieve this setting, follow these steps to change the signal converter settings:

Open a browser (Firefox) on the Edge Server screen and access the following URL.

　　　　　http://192.168.5.29

On the screen below, enter admin for Username and command1solo for Password and press the Submit button.

Open the Port 1 screen of the Operation Settings and add the following settings:

After setting up, press the Submit button and then the Save/Restart button

The following sensor data (NMEA data) must be entered into the system. Please enter the following settings. Convert the sensor data in NMEA format to the UDP protocol and connect to the free ports (ports 4 and 5) of the PoE HUB on the network.

The figure above shows an example of inputting data from the VDR for GNSS, wind direction anemometer, and GYRO compass from VDR, and AIS data separately. In this case, the output settings for these data are as follows:

If each sensor is independent, use a signal converter with a 4-port input to output NMEA data, as shown in the example below.

(e.g.) All sensor data is converted to a network with a signal converter and output

• Set the IP address of the signal converter to 192.168.5.xxx/24.

(192.168.5.29 and 192.168.5.189 are already used, so set them to something else.) ）

Your ship will be displayed on the map with a blue arrow icon. The direction of the arrow is in the bow direction.

Other ships are displayed with a pentagonal icon, and the direction in which the corner is pointed is the bow direction. Receive AIS information and display it on the map.

The definition of the color of the other ship icon is as follows.

Click on the icon of another vessel to display the information of that vessel.

It displays the DIST (distance from your vessel to the selected vessel), the SPD (the speed of the selected vessel), and the AIS information if there is any CPA (reapproach point) and BRG (collimating azimuth) information.

In addition, by clicking on the displayed list, more detailed information about the selected vessel is displayed on the screen.

Individuals can apply labels on the map. This will indicate who created it, so you will need to log in to use this labeling feature. The labels you create can include comments, and depending on the type, you can change the icon.

The pull-up screen is hidden at the bottom of the application screen. Drag it upwards to display the screen of the following features:

The navigation screen displays information about your ship. Numerical information includes wind direction and wind speed (true and relative), coordinates of your ship (latitude and longitude), heading, and ground vessel speed. In addition, the compass is displayed in the anime display, and the wind direction (true relative) and course direction are displayed with icons. (The bow heading is fixed upwards)

The operation of this screen requires that you are logged in.

Set DCPA and TCPA values.

Ships and navigation buoys recognized by AI from the camera image will be displayed in a square bounding box. If the type is a buoy, a triangle mark will be displayed.

There are the following types of objects that are recognized:

Types of recognizable objects:

By clicking on the bounding box of these recognized objects, you can view their detailed contents. The display includes the type of recognized object, distance, speed, and direction of movement.

The distance is calculated from the position of the image that recognized the object. The relative speed and direction of movement from your ship are indicated by arrows, which are also the relative direction of movement.

In addition, when the data recognized by this object matches the AIS data, the AIS ship name is displayed as follows, and when the CPA setting is enabled, the TCPA and DCPA values are also displayed. The bearing angle BRG indicates the relative direction from the ship to the object.

The following icons are always displayed on the far right side of the camera view. By clicking on the AIS on this icon, a list of AIS received by your vessel will be displayed on the camera view.

You can also scroll up and down the AIS list with the mouse wheel.

If you want to see the details of the vessels displayed in the AIS list, click on the list of vessels you want to check once to select it, and then click again to display the AIS information on the right side of the screen.

If you have set up an alert with the CPA setting, the AIS list of vessels that will be alerted to that condition will be displayed in red to alert you to your attention.

You can turn on/off the information displayed on the camera view screen. There are the following types of information:

Show the horizontal line. It is used to check the position of the horizon line when adjusting the IMU’s offset, and then turn it on and off. (At initial startup, it is in the OFF state by default.)

The AIS information of the vessel in that direction is displayed as an icon on the horizon of the camera image, and it is turned on/off.

Turn on/off the bounding box display of the vessel recognized by AI.

Turn on/off the icon display of buoys recognized by AI.

You can do this with the layer button on the right side of the screen. If you click on the layer icon in the figure below, a sub-screen where you can turn on/off operations will appear.

The image adjustment function allows the user to adjust the camera image. There are two types of functions:

When poor visibility occurs due to haze or fog, you can turn on Defogging to make the camera image clearer.

　You can adjust the brightness of the image at night in 5 levels. It usually has an AI mode set and automatically adjusts the brightness, but you can manually change the brightness level.

　When using it during the day, it is recommended to set it to AI mode.

Click the zoom icon to display the zoom slider. By dragging the slider, you can zoom in (zoom in or out) the camera image. After zooming, you can change the display position of the image by dragging the screen.

The information of the object recognized by Infoceanus Command can be communicated to the outside world through the network from the application in the edge server. The notification mechanism utilizes the HTTP RESTful API and uses webhooks to receive findings.

The edge server continues to POST the detection results from the time the webhook endpoint URL is registered.

Notes:

If the Edge Server is stopped once due to a restart, etc., the registered Webhook endpoint URL record will disappear and must be re-registered.

The name of the endpoint URL above is the registered name of the endpoint. If you want to register multiple endpoints, make sure that the registration names do not duplicate. It must also have the same name as the content listed in the registration BODY on the next page.

If you change the webhook endpoint URL, delete the registration once and then register it again.
