  • Publication number: 20240149992
    Abstract: A navigational information displaying device sequentially acquires first geographic coordinates of a first ship traveling on the sea, and generates a first object indicative of the first ship at first indication coordinates in an image displayed on a display unit. The device generates a first window indicating the first object and moving in the image in association with movement of the first object or an indication viewpoint, accepts a specification of second indication coordinates in the image from a user, and generates a second window indicating the second indication coordinates. The device acquires second geographic coordinates corresponding to the second indication coordinates, and calculates navigational information including a distance between the first and second geographic coordinates. The device displays the first object, the first window, the second window, and the navigational information in the image, and controls the first and second windows to not overlap with each other.

  • Publication number: 20240135635
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an image generating device capable of making a situation around a ship comprehensive. The image generating device includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires ship data indicative of a two-dimensional position of a ship on a water surface. The processing circuitry places a three-dimensional ship object indicative of the ship, at a position of a virtual water surface in a virtual three-dimensional space corresponding to a two-dimensional position of the ship. The processing circuitry sets a virtual camera in a bird's-eye view mode in which the three-dimensional ship object is looked down obliquely from a position higher than the three-dimensional ship object. The processing circuitry generates a three-dimensional image in which a sight within a field of view of the virtual camera including the three-dimensional ship object is drawn. The processing circuitry generates an image for indication including the three-dimensional image.
