Abstract
The present disclosure provides new and innovative systems and methods for calculating the draft of a vessel. In an example, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining image data of a vessel, detecting at least one object in the image data, the at least one object comprising at least one draft mark, identifying a waterline by analysing the image data, determining an intersection between the at least one draft mark and the waterline, and calculating a height of the vessel based on the at least one draft mark and the intersection.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- obtaining image data of a vessel;
- detecting at least one object in the image data, the at least one object comprising at least one draft mark;
- identifying a waterline by analysing the image data;
- determining an intersection between the at least one draft mark and the waterline;
- obtaining distance data of the hull of the vessel from one or more distance sensors;
- and
- determining an angle of list of the vessel, based on the distance data;
- and
- calculating a draft of the vessel based on the at least one draft mark and the intersection, and the angle of list.
A survey system for calculating the draft of a vessel, comprising:
- one or more image sensors to obtain image data of a vessel;
- one or more distance sensors to obtain distance data of a hull of the vessel;
- and
- a controller in communication with the one or more image sensors and the one or more distance sensors, configured to determine an angle of list of the vessel based on the distance data, and to calculate the draft of the vessel based on the image data and the distance data.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving image data of a vessel from at least one image sensor,
- detecting at least one object in the image data, the at least one object comprising at least one draft mark,
- identifying a waterline by analysing the image data,
- determining an intersection between the at least one draft mark and the waterline,
- receiving distance data of the vessel from one or more distance sensors;
- determining an angle of list of the vessel based on the one or more distance sensors;
- and
- calculating the draft of the vessel based on the at least one draft mark and the intersection, and the angle of list.
