    摘要: Ein System zur Situationserkennung bezüglich sich in einem Überwachungsraum befindlicher mobiler Objekte umfasst ein Hostsystem mit einer Datenschnittstelle zum Empfang von Lagedaten, welche als Lagedateninhalte zumindest eine räumliche Position der Objekte innerhalb des Überwachungsraums und ein Identifizierungsmerkmal des jeweiligen Objekts enthalten, ein mit dem Hostsystem verbundenes Sonifikationsmodul mit einer Ausgabeschnittstelle, wobei das Sonifikationsmodul dazu eingerichtet ist, gemäß einer vorbestimmten Zuordnung von akustischen Parametern zu den Lagedateninhalten akustische Parameter zu ermitteln, ein die ermittelten akustischen Parameter repräsentierendes Audiosignal zu erzeugen und das Audiosignal an der Ausgabeschnittstelle auszugeben, und einen mit der Ausgabeschnittstelle des Sonifikationsmoduls verbundenen akustischen Wandler, welcher dazu eingerichtet ist, das Audiosignal des Sonifikationsmoduls in eine durch einen menschlichen Benutzer wahrnehmbare akustische Ausgabe umzuwandeln.

    摘要: A fish finder having two 1D transducer arrays vertically arranged on a ship's hull. Each 1D transducer array provides a beam having a narrow width on a plane parallel to a plane in the transducer arrangement direction, and a fan-like beam on a plane crossing the plane. Ultrasonics are transmitted toward and received from the target on the first plane, by using the fan beam of the first 1D transducer array, and received from the second plane perpendicular to the first plane by using the fan beam of the second 1D transducer array. While the beam direction of the first 1D transducer array is gradually changed, that of the second 1D transducer array is rapidly changed so that information concerning the 3D space below the water surface is obtained. The obtained information is subjected to ray tracing processing for 3D displaying of an image on a 2D screen. This arrangement enables quicker detection of fish schools.

    摘要: A foreground image is overlaid over a background image on a visual display. Specifically, an ultrasound signal is transmitted toward a target to be displayed in two dimensions. Echoes of the ultrasound signal are received from the target. Two-dimensional target data acquired from the received echoes are stored. The two-dimensional target data are presented on the visual display as a background image. Part of the target data are overlaid over the background image as a foreground image on the visual display. The size of the foreground image vis-a-vis the background image is changed by the user to permit better observation of an area of interest. Preferably, the size of the foreground image is changed without changing the area occupied by the foreground image on the visual display, which permits the invention to simulate the action of a magnifying glass. The user moves a cursor on the visual display to the center of an area of interest. The user then opens up a window about the cursor to define the length and width of the foreground image on the visual display, while observing the target data presented on the visual display. The user can then magnify the size of the foreground image centered on the cursor, chance the dimensions of the window, and/or change the location of the cursor to move the area of interest, without disturbing the background image.

    摘要: Systems and methods for providing a sonar beam footprint are detailed herein. A system for presenting marine data includes at least one sonar transducer associated with a watercraft, a display, processor(s), and memory including computer program code. The sonar transducer emits sonar beams into an underwater environment that define a beam shape. The program code, when executed, causes, on the display, presentation of a chart and a representation of the watercraft; determines a depth corresponding to a bottom surface of a body of water at a current location of the watercraft; and determines, based on the depth and the beam shape, a sonar beam footprint corresponding to a projection of the beam shape at the depth. The program code further causes, on the display, presentation of the sonar beam footprint on the chart so as to visually indicate sonar beam coverage.

    摘要: An apparatus for providing marine information is provided including a user interface, a processor, and a memory including computer program code. The memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to generate a sonar image based on sonar return data received from an underwater environment, determine a location associated with the sonar return data based on location data received from one or more position sensors, and render a nautical chart on a display. The computer program code is further configured to cause the apparatus to receive a user input on the user interface directed to a portion of the display in which the nautical chart is presented, and modify presentation of the nautical chart such that the portion of the display presents the sonar image in response to receiving the user input.

    摘要: An object is to provide an ultrasound source azimuth determining apparatus that is compact and capable of measuring the azimuth of an ultrasound source over a wide search range at one time while reducing the effect of grating lobes.
    An ultrasound source azimuth determining apparatus includes a camera configured to pick up an image of a measured object; an array sensor configured to measure a sound pressure of ultrasound originating from a direction of the measured object; computing means for generating a sound pressure map on the basis of sound pressure information of ultrasound acquired by the array sensor, and superimposing the sound pressure map and a picked-up image acquired by the camera to generate a composite image; and display means for displaying the composite image. The array sensor includes a total of greater than or equal to 9 and less than or equal to 25 surface mount sensors, and at least some of the surface mount sensors are arranged on an X-axis and a Y-axis in the same plane.
