US 11,899,105 B2 · Monitoring method and system to monitor the underwater traffic of an area of interest

Abstract

Monitoring method and system to monitor the underwater traffic of an area of interest where at least one underwater element is going to operate. The system comprises: a memory, which is configured to store data comprising a representation of the area of interest, and a list of a plurality of types of underwater elements with the relative digital model; a detection unit to detect the position and the orientation of each underwater element present inside said area of interest; a processing unit, which is configured to determine, based on the stored data and on the detection of said detection unit, the type of each underwater element present inside the area of interest, and to generate, based on said data, a representation of the area of interest showing the static obstacles, and the digital model, the position and the orientation of each underwater element present inside said area of interest; and a user interface to display said representation of the area of interest.

A monitoring system to monitor the underwater traffic of an area of interest where at least one underwater element is going to operate;

said monitoring system comprises:
a memory, which is configured to store data comprising at least one representation of said area of interest, which shows at least the static obstacles present inside said area of interest, and a list of a plurality of types of underwater elements, said list comprising a digital model for each one of said underwater elements;
a detection unit to detect the position and the orientation of each underwater element present inside said area of interest;
a processing unit, which is configured to determine, based on the detection of said detection unit and on the data contained in said memory, the type of each underwater element present inside the area of interest;
and to generate, based on the detection of said detection unit and on the data contained in said memory, a representation of the area of interest showing the static obstacles, and the digital model, the position and the orientation of each underwater element present inside said area of interest;
and
a user interface, which is configured to display said representation of the area of interest.

A monitoring method to monitor the underwater traffic of an area of interest where at least one underwater element is going to operate;

said monitoring method comprises:
an acquisition step, during which data are acquired and stored, which comprise representation of said area of interest, which shows at least the static obstacles present inside said area of interest, and a list of a plurality of types of underwater elements, said list comprising a digital model for each one of said underwater elements;
a detection step, during which the position and the orientation of each underwater element present inside said area of interest are detected;
a processing step, during which, based on said data and on the detection carried out during said detection step, the type of each underwater element present inside the area of interest is identified and a representation of the area of interest is generated, which shows the static obstacles, and the digital model, the position and the orientation of each underwater element present inside said area of interest;
and
a displaying step, during which said representation of the area of interest is displayed in a user interface.
