    摘要: The present invention solves the foregoing problems by providing a control system comprising a remote control module in wireless communication with a cable reel module connected to a motor operated cable reel. Advantageously, the remote control module comprises a first user interface for entering instructions and a processor for transmitting the instructions to the cable reel module to extend or retract the cable and thus control the ascent or descent of an ROV attached to the cable. Due to the processor-controlled nature of the control system automated operations of ROV ascent and descent can be realised. Furthermore, the cable reel module itself is provided with a second user interface that can enact a manual override and emergency stop of the ROV motion in the event that the remote control aspect malfunctions or is being operated incorrectly.

    摘要: The present invention discloses an improved system of monitoring logistics involved in marine transportation. The proposed system with the help of data acquisition component, humidity control component, temperature control component, power component, microcontroller, and user device automatically regulate the required temperature and humidity level within preset threshold and also transmits the information to the user's device. This system also allows to add additional sensors and environmental control components including but not limited to ambient light, vibration, sound, movement, oxygen, chemical levels, and more. The system also provides a communication interface coupled to the onboard micro controller, where the communication interface being operative to transmit a monitoring update message to end user device, in response to a transmission instruction from the onboard microcontroller.

    摘要: The present invention, in some embodiments thereof, relates to apparatus, system and methods for image distortion correction when scanning/imaging an air-water interface (AWI), or any such interfaces between two media including air and glass, among others. According to one embodiment, the apparatus comprises of a means of scanning a mean water level, and twos canners, wherein is set slightly above the water surface, and one positioned just below, with the scanners having an intersecting view of the AWI. A suitably trained machine learning algorithm recognizes key features from both the above-water and underwater scans, determines distortion from the AWI, make a correction of the distortion and automatically stitch the distortion-corrected scans together. According to another embodiment, the resulting single complete, accurate, and high-density point cloud of all surface profiles in, around, and below the AWI area.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a system for autonomously controlling a fleet of carrier platforms on a water body surface, each carrier platform hosting and being configured to deploy and retrieve one or more sub-carriers for autonomously carrying out operations in a marine environment. The one or more carrier platforms and sub-carriers of the system each have navigation and positioning modules for coordinating movements and are also centrally managed via an intelligent central control system from which the operations of the fleet can be monitored and controlled. The present invention solves the retrieval issue presented by deploying unmanned sub-carriers in complex real-world environments. The invention provides for a modular retrieval system for unmanned sub-carriers.
