摘要： Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide graphical user interfaces for assisted and/or autonomous navigation for mobile structures. A navigation assist system includes a user interface with a display for a mobile structure and a logic device configured to render a docking user interface on the display. The logic device determines a direction and magnitude of a navigational bias associated with navigation of the mobile structure and determines a spatially biased safety perimeter and hazard monitoring area within a monitoring perimeter of a perimeter ranging system mounted to the mobile structure, based on the direction and magnitude of the navigational bias. The docking user interface includes a maneuvering guide with a virtual bumper perimeter intrusion indicator configured to indicate a relative position and/or proximity of a navigation hazard within the spatially biased hazard monitoring area.

摘要： A tracking system for tracking water-surface objects includes a stereo camera on a hull, at least one memory, and at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory. The at least one processor is configured or programmed to detect at least one object based on a first image and a second image captured by a first imaging unit and a second imaging unit of the stereo camera, and set one detected object as a tracking target in a third image captured by the first imaging unit, the second imaging unit or another imaging unit. The at least one processor is further configured or programmed to track the tracking target using a temporal change in a feature of the tracking target, and use at least one object detected based on the first image and the second image during tracking to correct the tracking result.

摘要： Remote-control units used for docking a marine vessel include both a radio transceiver for communicating with a helm receiver to which control signals for the various vessel systems can be sent, and a WiFi transceiver that can be used to remotely access and adjust the operational profiles stored in the remote control unit. Each of the profiles causes the remote control unit to control one or more vessel systems by ramping up their output over an initial time duration to a maximum profile setting which is a proportion of the maximum output capability of the vessel system.

摘要： A self-righting sailing vessel is described. The self-righting sailing vessel may determine the occurrence of several predetermined events, such as the self-righting sailing vessel capsizing, present or imminent inclement weather, and/or a present or imminent vessel or large marine animal. Upon detection of one of these events, the self-righting sailing vessel causes at least it's hull to become partially or completely submerged beneath the water. The self-righting sailing vessel is configured such that its rig is more buoyant than the rest of the vessel when the vessel is completely submerged beneath the water, causing the vessel to move towards an upright position while underwater. When the vessel is pointing towards an upright position, the vessel may begin ascending until it surfaces and is ready to continue sailing on top of the water.

摘要： Some fishing boats include a livewell system. This document describes livewell systems that have multiple modes of operation. The modes of operation include, at least, a first mode with a lower water level and a second mode with a higher water level. While the livewell is operating in the second mode, the tank is nearly full of water. Accordingly, with a nearly full tank, the water in the livewell will resist sloshing around while the boat is navigating rough seas or travelling at high speeds or for long distances. Moreover, the health of the fish in the livewell will be protected because of the water's lessened tendency to slosh around in the livewell.

摘要： Disclosed subject matter identifies, characterizes, and mitigates previously unforeseen safety hazards that are likely to be encountered by autonomous conveyances—finding these hazards, assessing their potential safety impact, modifying the design to mitigate them should they occur, disseminating updated design programming to all units, including those under construction or those already in the field, and including those hazard mitigations of high severity that exceed the maximum capabilities of the controller as manufactured. These hazards can include rare, infrequent and unforeseen hazards by monitoring conveyances already in the field, gathering data from autonomous conveyances, such as those using a design being updated, and data obtained from those using other autonomous designs in the field. By obtaining data from non-autonomous conveyances, as supplied by their drivers and operators, reporting real-time via a smartphone application, categories of rare, infrequent or unforeseen hazards can be integrated into modified designs.

摘要： A water vehicle includes: a water vehicle body; a control target mounted on the water vehicle body and controlled to operate the water vehicle body; and processing circuitry configured to acquire requested values used to operate the water vehicle body and generate, based on the requested values, command values to be output to the control target. The processing circuitry switches a control mode between a towing mode in which the water vehicle tows a towed target and a non-towing mode in which the water vehicle does not tow the towed target. When the control mode is the towing mode, the processing circuitry generates, based on the requested value, a second command value that is the command value different from a first command value that is the command value generated based on the requested value when the control mode is the non-towing mode.
