System Overview
The SceneScan System is a high accuracy rotating laser Sensor that provides positional
information to allow automated approach and/or station keeping relative to a structure or
vessel. It is designed to be semi-portable and straightforward to operate.
Its key elements are:
•
The SceneScan Sensor: The marine grade SceneScan Sensor is mounted on the
vessel (typically on the wheelhouse) as required. The SceneScan Sensor emits eye-safe
infrared light and detects the reflections received back from one or more designated
structures or vessels.
•
The SceneScan Client Software: There are two key pieces of software:
•
The SceneScan Service Interface: The SceneScan Service Interface is used
for system installation and maintenance.
•
The SceneScan Dashboard: The SceneScan Dashboard generates a visual
representation of the scene detected by the SceneScan Sensor. It gives the
DP Operator control of the system and the data stream being fed to the DP
system.
Both pieces of software run under Windows™ on a Type 3 Marine Processor or other
computer providing the minimum system requirements (See page 55).
The SceneScan system operates differently to other local position reference systems in that
it does not require any type of target to be placed on the asset that is being approached or
used for station keeping.
It scans the vessel or structure and produces a map. This map is compared to the current
scan by the SceneScan Sensor navigation algorithm, which is used to track a local position.
