20140013270, Jan 9, 2014

Filed:

Mar 14, 2013

Appl. No.:

13/804622

Inventors:

- Egersund, NO
Matthew Hunt - Pittsburgh PA, US

Assignee:

Navico Holding AS - Egersund

International Classification:

G06F 3/0481

US Classification:

715781

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for displaying marine electronic data. In one implementation, a non-transitory computer-readable medium has stored thereon a plurality of computer-executable instructions. When the plurality of computer-executable instructions are executed by a computer, the plurality of computer-executable instructions cause the computer to perform various actions. The actions may include receiving a user request for the computer to display two or more windows of chart data. The computer can then create the two or more windows on a screen of the computer. A first one of the two or more windows can display the chart data from a first source. A second one of the two or more windows can display the chart data from a second source.

G08G 3/00

Abstract:

Systems and methods for automatic navigation of a marine environment area are detailed herein. A system for navigating a marine area includes a display, a processor, and a memory including a computer program code. The computer program code, when executed, causes, on the display, presentation of a chart including at least a portion of a body of water; receives an input of at least one condition parameter associated with the desired marine environment; determines a portion of the body of water defined by the at least one condition; and displays the determined portion on the chart. The computer program code further, when executed, determines a traversal coverage corresponding to a watercraft; and determines a route to traverse the determined portion based on the traversal coverage of the watercraft such that an entirety of the determined portion is covered by the determined traversal coverage of the watercraft during the route.

- EGERSUND, NO
David Austin Parks - Tulsa OK, US
Ronald Joe Horner - Collinsville OK, US
Matthew David Hunt - Pittsburgh PA, US

International Classification:

G01S 15/89

Abstract:

Provided are a method, apparatus, and computer program product for updating stored 3D mesh data from live 3D mesh data. The method may include processing, by a sonar signal processor, first sonar return data and second sonar return data from first and second transducer elements of at least one transducer array to generate live 3D mesh data. The method may include determining a position associated with the live 3D mesh data that corresponds to the position of the watercraft when the first sonar return data and the second sonar return data was received, and may include updating a stored 3D mesh data with at least a portion of the live 3D mesh data based on the position.

G01S 7/526
G01S 7/56
G01S 7/524

Abstract:

Provided are a sonar system and transducer assembly for producing a 3D image of an underwater environment. The sonar system may include a housing having a transmit transducer that may transmit sonar pulses into the water. The system may include at least one sidescan transducer array in the housing that receives first and second sonar returns with first and second transducer elements and converts the first and second returns into first and second sonar return data. The first sidescan element may also transmit second sonar pulses, and at least one of the sidescan elements may receive the second sonar pulses to generate sidescan sonar return data. A sonar signal processor may then generate a 3D mesh data and sidescan image data and generate a 3D image data based on the 3D mesh data and sidescan image data. An associated method of using the sonar system is also provided.

Assignee:

NAVICO HOLDING AS - EGERSUND

International Classification:

G01S 15/89

US Classification:

367 88

Abstract:

Methods and sonar system for displaying a nautical chart and for adjusting depth indicators on the chart based on a calculated offset between the actual water level and the standard water level on which the chart is based. The offset is based on sonar soundings compared to depths indicated by the chart. The sonar system's processor automatically adjusts the chart's depth indicators to reflect the offset.
