Wärtsilä Smart Panoramic Edge Camera System

The Wärtsilä Smart Panoramic Edge Camera System provides 360° situational awareness in real-time for the vessel to improve safety.

The Camera pods have been specifically designed to cope with the harshest marine environments, along with a powerful video processing system. This provides a super-wide field of view and integrated motion reference units. This gives an accurate Birds Eye View (BEV) of the near field of the vessel, primarily used for assistance with docking and close-range manoeuvres. A superimposed grid indicates the distance to objects around the vessel and a measurement tool provides distance and bearing to selected objects in the live video. The system can connect to onboard navigation systems to extract AIS and GNSS data for the Augmented Reality (AR) views.

• Eliminate blind spots
  The camera pods have a super wide 200° field of view in horizontal, and 114° field of view in vertical that’s stitched together by the system to give you complete visibility around the ship.
 
• Improve safety
  Take situational awareness to next level with the augmented reality view that provides additional layers of information, including AIS.
   
• Reduce costs
  Avoid damage costs to vessel infrastructure with live distance indications to objects around the vessel.
    
• For training and incident investigation
  The system allows post-voyage incident investigation and training.
