AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This technology allows for accurate measurements over water surfaces by measuring their orientation angles and elevation from cameras attached on an aircraft or boat that can be navigated autonomously without being piloted manually. It also uses this information to calculate the vessel' s positioning within its own frame of reference (the body). By combining these two techniques together, it becomes possible to accurately measure distances along different directions across multiple seabed areas at once.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in the current technology relates to improving the accuracy and reliability of radar systems during oceanographic measurements on ships without requiring expensive equipment like cameras due to their poor performance at low altitudes where water depths exceed 300 meters (m).
