17.1 ClearCruise™ features
ClearCruise™ features are designed for enhancing situational awareness and aiding navigation.
ClearCruise™ technology provides 2 separate features, which are described in more detail throughout
this chapter:
• Object Detection (Video Analytics)
• Augmented Reality (AR)
Object Detection
Object Detection
(Video Analytics) is a feature available for M100, M200, and M300 Series
thermal cameras. Intelligent thermal analytics technology provides audible and visual alerts when
“non-water” objects are identified in the scene. Vessels, obstacles, and navigation markers can all be
automatically identified by the camera without the need for Chart or Radar data.
Required components for Object Detection
• MFD: Axiom / Axiom Pro / Axiom XL, or eS Series / gS Series running LightHouse 3.
• Thermal Camera (M100, M200, or M300 Series),
running the latest available software version.
• LightHouse™ software (v3.0 or later)
Note: Visit www.raymarine.com/software to download the latest software for your MFD and camera.
Note: Weather conditions can cause the target's temperature, luminance, contrast or chrominance
to be below a detectable range in relation to the background image. Therefore, the effectiveness
of the ClearCruise Object Detection (Video Analytics) feature for distinguishing targets and
non-targets is dependent on optimal scene conditions. It is recommended:
• The visible image is adjusted to contain good color, brightness and contrast;
• Accuracy can be improved by excluding irrelevant regions such as sun glare.
Augmented Reality
The Augmented Reality feature places layers of digital information directly over the top of the Video
app’s video feed. Data from the Chart app is used to generate informative text and images (flags)
on the Video app. When calibrated correctly, ClearCruise™ Augmented Reality accurately overlays
automatically-updating flags on the Video app so they overlap real-life objects.
Required components for Augmented Reality (IP cameras)
• MFD (Axiom, Axiom Pro or Axiom XL)
• AR200 Augmented Reality Sensor
• IP camera (CAM210IP or CAM220IP)
• LightHouse™ software (v3.7 or later)
Required components for Augmented Reality (M-Series cameras)
• MFD (Axiom, Axiom Pro or Axiom XL)
• AR200 Augmented Reality Sensor
