System Overview
infoceanus command supports the safe operation of ships with situational awareness technology that uses general-purpose visible light cameras and computer vision.
Icons marked up on the map using the map annotation function can be shared not only within your company but also with all users by setting the sharing range. It is also equipped with a route navigation function that displays information in a dialog when approaching preset buoys or targets at sea. We provide criteria for confirming course and safe ship maneuvering.
We will contribute to the safe operation of ships with an unprecedented new communication style.

Function
Build the infoceanus command using the components in the previous section.
-
Displaying camera images
Images from a visible light camera installed outside the own ship are displayed in real time on a terminal inside the ship via the network.
-
Recording camera images
Records images from a visible light camera installed outside the ship.
-
Display of navigation data
Data from navigational instruments is acquired and the following information is displayed on the ship’s terminal in real time.
-
GNSS ： Ship’s direction and speed
-
GYRO compass ： Heading of the ship
-
Wind direction anemometer ： Wind direction and speed
-
AIS ： Information on other ships
Data from navigational instruments is assumed to be output to the system via serial communication or Ethernet using the NMEA communication protocol.
-
Collision warning
Based on the received AIS information, DCPA (Distance Closet Point of Approach) and TCPA (Time Closet Point of Approach) are calculated and a warning is issued. Alarms can be set by distance (in 0.1 NM increments) with DCPA and time (in 1 minute increments) with TCPA.
-
Display AIS information
Based on the received AIS information, a list will be displayed on the screen in order of distance from the DCPA. Also, when you select a list, detailed information about AIS will be displayed.
-
Object detection and recognition
The following types of objects are recognized from visible light camera images, and bounding boxes are displayed for the recognized objects on the image. This makes it possible to identify small vessels, etc. that are not equipped with AIS.
-
Vessel
-
Passenger Vessel
-
Boat (Small ships)
-
Navigation Buoy
-
Fishing Buoy
-
Fishers Facility
-
Display map
Displays your own ship’s position and the positions of other ships received by AIS on the map. The map display can be either north-up or course-up, centered on your own ship, and you can also freely change the map display angle.
-
Labeling
You can create labels for locations on the map. You can use this label not only for yourself, but also to make it public to your company’s users or share it with all users.
Note : An internet connection is required to start this system. Please prepare an environment
where you can connect to the Internet from inside the ship.
