Abstract: A method of laying a pipeline from a laying vessel into a body of water includes guiding the pipeline along a supporting structure of a laying ramp. The method also includes acquiring a first data item correlated to a position of the pipeline at a free end of the laying ramp using an optical sensor or an acoustic sensor. The method further includes determining whether the acquired first data item is within an acceptance range predetermined as a function of a configuration of the supporting structure and a size of the pipeline. Additionally, the method includes emitting an control signal when the acquired first data item is not within the acceptance range. Determining whether the acquired first data item is within the acceptance range includes processing the acquired first data item to compare it the first data item to an information stored in a memory.

Abstract translation: 将管道从铺设容器放置到水体中的方法包括沿着铺设斜坡的支撑结构引导管道。 该方法还包括使用光学传感器或声学传感器获取在铺设斜坡的自由端与管道的位置相关的第一数据项。 该方法还包括确定所获取的第一数据项是否在预定的接受范围内，作为支撑结构的配置和管道的尺寸的函数。 此外，该方法包括当所获取的第一数据项不在接受范围内时发出控制信号。 确定所获取的第一数据项是否在接受范围内包括处理所获取的第一数据项以将第一数据项与存储在存储器中的信息进行比较。
