  • Publication number: 20220171019
    Abstract: A system for the display of radar returns is provided. The system comprises a radar configured to provide radar data, a processor, and a display configured to present the radar data. The system comprises memory including computer program code configured to, when executed, cause the processor to receive the radar data, wherein an object is represented within the radar data; receive additional data from a data source other than the radar; and determine object characteristic(s) of the object using the radar data and additional data, wherein the object characteristic(s) comprises a position, a velocity, an intensity, or an object classification of one or more objects. The computer program code is also configured to cause the processor to cause presentation of the radar data including a representation of the object and an indication of the corresponding object characteristic(s). A marine electronic device and a non-transitory computer readable medium are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20220171043
    Abstract: A system for analysis of sonar data is provided comprising sonar transducer assembl(ies), processor(s), and a memory. The memory includes computer program code that is configured to, when executed, cause processor(s) to receive sonar data, where an object is represented within sonar data, and additional data from a data source other than the sonar transducer assembl(ies). The processor(s) further determine object characteristic(s) of the object using sonar data and additional data, and determine an estimated object-type for the object represented within sonar data using the object characteristic(s). The processor(s) further generate a sonar image based on sonar data, cause display of the sonar image, and cause provision of an indication of the estimated object-type so that the indication of the estimated object-type is correlated to the object representation in the sonar image.

  • Publication number: 20220169348
    Abstract: Artificial intelligence can be used to provide accurate realignment functionality for various different marine devices on a watercraft. A system is provided for aligning one or more marine devices, where one or more controllers are configured to receive marine data from the marine device and receive secondary data from one or more second devices. An expected alignment characteristic is determined based on the secondary data and a corresponding deviation therefrom is determined based on marine data. In response to determining the deviation, the controllers are configured to cause at least one of a notification indicating a misalignment of the marine device to be provided to a user, a data adjustment to marine data so as to produce recalibrated marine data, or a physical adjustment to be applied to the marine device so as to subsequently receive realigned marine data from the marine device.

  • Patent number: 9091554
    Abstract: A device, system and method for an update system for updating a digital map for a vehicle. The update data is sent from a control center via a satellite navigation system to the individual receivers. The update data is received by the receivers in parallel with the position data from the satellites. For this purpose, a subchannel is provided. This allows large portions of the worldwide population to be supplied with the update data.

  • Patent number: 8712367
    Abstract: An emergency call device for a vehicle is specified in which, on occurrence of a certain event, a data record is generated which thereupon is transmitted during the emergency call. The event can be an external request by an operator or a trigger signal inside a vehicle. In this way, the operator can obtain the most recent information at any time during the emergency call.
