Water non-water segmentation systems and methods

A system comprising:

• an imaging module configured to capture images of an environment about a mobile structure;
• a logic device configured to communicate with the imaging module, wherein the logic device is configured to:
• receive at least one image from the imaging module;
• determine a water/non-water segmented image based, at least in part, on the received at least one image, wherein the water/non-water segmented image comprises water pixels and non-water pixels, wherein the determining the water/non-water segmented image comprises:
• generating at least one autoencoded image corresponding to the at least one received image by applying a convolutional autoencoder to the at least one received image;
• and
• determining the water/non-water segmented image by applying a graph cut image segmenter to the generated at least one autoencoded image;
• and
• generate a range chart corresponding to the environment about the mobile structure based, at least in part, on the determined water/non-water segmented image and/or the received at least one image.

A method comprising:

• receiving at least one image from an imaging module coupled to a mobile structure;
• determine a water/non-water segmented image based, at least in part, on the received at least one image, wherein the water/non-water segmented image comprises water pixels and non-water pixels;
• generating a range chart corresponding to the environment about the mobile structure based, at least in part, on the determined water/non-water segmented image and/or the received at least one image;
• receiving orientation, position, and/or navigation data corresponding to the at least one image from an orientation and/or position sensor (OPS) and/or a navigational sensor;
• and
• generating an information display view comprising the range chart and at least one augmented image corresponding to the received at least one image based, at least in part, on the received orientation, position, and/or navigation data and/or the received at least one image.
