An important aspect of maritime safety involves the visualisation of the situation close to any particular ship, so that appropriate action may be taken. While many features may be seen directly from the bridge, bad lighting and weather may obscure them, and much of the necessary information is only available on charts or in pilot books. It seems clear that an integration of all these within a single simple view would improve maritime safety. We have developed a visualization system, based on a laptop PC, that gives a 3D-games type navigational view. We believe that the resulting 3D model provides new facilities for ship navigation, and may be introduced very economically for many types of shipping. The combination of basic GIS concepts with 3D modelling, user interaction and real-time data could contribute significantly to future maritime safety. |
