  • Publication number: 20250196977
    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.

  • Patent number: 10586359
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for creating a waterfall chart for data analysis. A waterfall chart enables a user to compare two different versions of a quantity and the underlying details for the differences between the two versions. The method comprises: 1) a data setting step including the setting of: a) an open value, b) a close value, c) a breakdown time and d) a breakdown dimension; 2) a data series definition step including defining: a) a reference data point, b) a comparison data point, c) a reference data breakdown series and d) a comparison data breakdown series; 3) a variance series computation step including: a) aligning the reference data breakdown series and the comparison data breakdown series, b) calculating a variance series, and c) creating a waterfall data series; and 4) a chart rendering step.
