  • Patent number: 11892298
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods for navigational danger identification and feedback. A navigation system may include one or more navigation sensors coupled to and/or associated with a mobile structure and a logic device. The one or more navigation sensors are configured to provide navigational data associated with the mobile structure. The logic device is configured to receive navigational data from the one or more navigation sensors; determine a virtual model comprising at least one navigational hazard based, at least in part, on the received navigational data; and generate a navigation display view comprising a virtual model view based, at least in part, on the determined virtual model, wherein the virtual model view comprises at least one navigation threat indicator corresponding to the at least one navigational hazard.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10989537
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods for sensor fusion with respect to mobile structures. A mobile structure may include multiple ranging sensor systems and/or receive navigational data from various sensors. A navigational database may be generated that includes data from the ranging sensor systems and/or other sensors. Aspects of the navigational database may then be used to generate an integrated model, which can be used to generally aid in the navigation of the mobile structure.

  • Patent number: 10942027
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods for video based sensor fusion with respect to mobile structures. A mobile structure may include at least one imaging module and multiple navigational sensors and/or receive navigational data from various sources. A navigational database may be generated that includes data from the imaging module, navigational sensors, and/or other sources. Aspects of the navigational database may then be used to generate an integrated model, forecast weather conditions, warn of dangers, identify hard to spot items, and generally aid in the navigation of the mobile structure.
