Abstract
The purpose of this disclosure is to easily calculate draft information with a simple configuration. The draft information generation device (10) comprises multiple range-finding sensors (20) and an information processor module (30). The range-finding sensor (20) is mounted on the side of a vessel (80) and measures the distance to water surface (91) using a range-finding signal. The information processor module (30) calculates draft height Hdr using the distance to the water surface (91) and the mold depth Hmd of the vessel (80).
Claims20
A draft information generation device, comprising:
- a range-finding sensor to be mounted on a side of a vessel configured to measure a distance to a water surface by transmitting a range-finding signal;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to calculate a draft height based on the distance to the water surface.
A draft information generation method, comprising:
- measuring a distance to a water surface from a predetermined position above the water surface of a hull by using a range-finding signal;
- and
- calculating a draft height based on the distance to the water surface.
A draft information generation program configured to cause a processing unit to execute processing, the processing comprising:
- measuring a distance to a water surface from a predetermined position above the water surface of a hull by using a range-finding signal;
- and
- calculating a draft height based on the distance to the water surface.
