Abstract:

Aalesund University College (AAUC) is situated in an area of industry companies developing the most advanced equipment and procedures for safe ship operations. AAUC has established a close cooperation with these private technology developers for the purpose of joint research and testing in this field. This work deals with the design of tomorrow’s ship bridges. In the light of the bridge officer’s situation of continuously growing information influence it has become mandatory to develop a new bridge concept in order to maintain and improve safety and efficiency in ship operations. The focus has been to explore the possibilities of modern vision technology in combination with dedicated systems for information extraction from large quantities of data. An important concept in this setting will be artificial sight and augmented reality. So far some interesting sensor and vision concepts have been tested and the results have shown to be promising. This research activity is supported by funding from the Norwegian Research Council (NFR).
