Description

Method for determining the installation location of a camera on a ship and a ship having a camera installed by the method

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for determining an installation location of a camera and a ship having a camera installed by the method.

[0002] Ships are equipped with numerous sensors, and cameras are one of them. Cameras are electronic and optical devices that receive power and process the captured images into video. Ships can collect images from these cameras and use them as monitoring data to ensure safe operation.

[0003] Figure 1 is a drawing showing an example of where a camera is installed on a ship.

[0004] The first vessel (10) of Fig. 1 is shown only on the right side, and it is shown that cameras can be installed at the bow, the right side near the bow, the outer point of the right side, and the location closest to the stern on the ceiling (e.g., a location where a view of the stern can be secured).

[0005] The second vessel (11) of Fig. 1 is a smaller boat than the first vessel (10), and is the same as the first vessel (10) in that cameras can be installed at the bow, the right side near the bow, and the location closest to the stern on the ceiling at the outer point of the right side (e.g., a location where the stern can be seen). However, considering the characteristic of the insufficient height of the boat's hull, the second vessel (11) is differentiated in that the side cameras are installed at the ceiling height. In other words, in the past, the locations of camera installations were not consistent depending on the type of vessel, making it difficult to efficiently install cameras on the vessel.

[0006] If cameras are installed in unnecessary or inefficient locations on a vessel, the video they generate tends to be significantly less important for vessel operation. Furthermore, cameras are not simply installed. Due to their mechanical nature, they require removal of a portion of the vessel's outer hull. Therefore, once a camera's installation location is determined and installed, it's difficult to relocate it. Therefore, regardless of vessel type, a methodology is needed to efficiently determine camera installation locations based on the vessel's exterior appearance.

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for determining the installation location of a camera on a ship and a ship on which a camera is installed by applying the method.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention for solving the above technical problem, a method comprises: determining a detailed position of a bow camera installed near the bow of a ship; when the detailed position of the bow camera is determined, determining a detailed position of a stern camera installed near the stern of the ship; when the detailed position of the stern camera is determined, determining a detailed position of a blind spot camera installed near a blind sector on the bow side of the ship; and when the detailed position of the blind spot camera is determined, determining a detailed position of a plurality of side cameras installed near the sides of the ship.

[0009] In another embodiment of the present invention for solving the above technical problem, in a ship, the cameras installed on the ship include the bow camera, the stern camera, the blind spot camera, and the side camera, and the bow camera, the stern camera, the blind spot camera, and the side camera may be sequentially installed at detailed locations determined by the method according to claim 1.

[0011] A method for providing a camera installation guide for a ship according to one embodiment of the present invention for solving the above technical problem includes the steps of: receiving a first image from at least one camera installed on a ship; generating guide information based on characteristic information of the installed camera and the received first image; generating a second image by aligning an installation assistance line generated based on the generated guide information with the received first image; and receiving a request for the second image from a user terminal and transmitting the generated second image to the user terminal.

[0035] According to one embodiment of the present invention for solving the above technical problem, a method comprises: determining a detailed position of a bow camera installed near the bow of a ship; when the detailed position of the bow camera is determined, determining a detailed position of a stern camera installed near the stern of the ship; when the detailed position of the stern camera is determined, determining a detailed position of a blind spot camera installed near a blind sector on the bow side of the ship; and when the detailed position of the blind spot camera is determined, determining a detailed position of a plurality of side cameras installed near the sides of the ship.

[0036] In the above method, the detailed location may be a location where there is no structure outside the hull included in the field of view of the lenses of the bow camera, the stern camera, the blind spot camera, and the side camera.

[0037] In the above method, the detailed position may be a position higher than the height of the maximum waterline of the ship.

[0038] In the above method, the player camera, the stern camera, the blind spot camera and the side camera may be cameras including a fish-eye lens.

[0039] In the above method, the step of determining the detailed position of the player camera may determine the detailed position of the player camera as a position where a pulpit or anchor is spaced apart by a certain distance in the lower direction of the player camera.

[0040] In the above method, the step of determining the detailed position of the stern camera may determine the highest position near the stern of the ship as the detailed position of the stern camera.

[0042] In the above method, the step of determining the detailed position of the side camera may determine the leftmost point and the rightmost point of the highest first position on the ceiling of the ship as the detailed position of the side camera.

[0043] In the above method, the step of determining the detailed position of the side camera may include the step of determining whether, when the side camera is installed at the leftmost point and the rightmost point, the blind spot distance of the installed side camera measured from the waterline of the ship exceeds a threshold value; and initializing the determined detailed position of the side camera, and determining the leftmost point and the rightmost point of a second position lower than the first position as the detailed position of the side camera.

[0044] In the above method, the number of the second positions is greater than the number of the first positions, and the detailed positions of the side cameras can be determined such that at least two of the side cameras are installed in the left direction of the ship and at least two of the side cameras are installed in the right direction of the ship.

[0045] In the above method, the step of determining the detailed position of the side camera may determine the detailed position of the side camera such that the limit height of the angle of view of the side camera is a height obtained by multiplying a preset height value by the height at which the side camera is installed.

[0046] In the above method, the step of determining the detailed position of the side camera can determine the detailed position of the side camera so that the limit distance in the left and right directions of the angle of view of the side camera becomes a preset distance value.

[0047] In the above method, the horizontal positions of the detailed positions of the player camera, the stern camera, the blind spot camera, and the side camera can be determined as positions that are each a predetermined distance away from the end point of the stern of the ship.

[0048] In another embodiment of the present invention for solving the above technical problem, in a ship, the cameras installed on the ship include the bow camera, the stern camera, the blind spot camera, and the side camera, and the bow camera, the stern camera, the blind spot camera, and the side camera may be sequentially installed at detailed locations determined by the method according to claim 1.

[0049] According to another embodiment of the present invention for solving the above technical problem, a method comprises the steps of: when information about a ship is input, determining a detailed position of a bow camera installed near the bow of the ship; when the detailed position of the bow camera is determined, determining a detailed position of a stern camera installed near the stern of the ship; when the detailed position of the stern camera is determined, determining a detailed position of a blind spot camera installed near a blind sector on the bow side of the ship; when the detailed position of the blind spot camera is determined, determining a detailed position of a plurality of side cameras installed near the side of the ship; and when the detailed position of the blind spot camera is determined, processing the determined positions of the bow camera, the stern camera, the blind spot camera, and the side cameras into visualized information and outputting the information through a user terminal.

[0050] A method for providing a camera installation guide for a ship according to one embodiment of the present invention for solving the above technical problem includes the steps of: receiving a first image from at least one camera installed on a ship; generating guide information based on characteristic information of the installed camera and the received first image; generating a second image by aligning an installation assistance line generated based on the generated guide information with the received first image; and receiving a request for the second image from a user terminal and transmitting the generated second image to the user terminal.

[0054] In the above method, the guide information may be information about the external features of the ship in the first image.

[0055] In the above method, the exterior features of the ship may be features of the exterior of a feature area of ​​the ship that change based on the installation position of the camera that generated the first image.

[0056] In the above method, the guide information may be information for indicating a horizontal line in the second image.

[0057] In the above method, the generated installation auxiliary line may include an auxiliary line indicating a horizontal line and an auxiliary line indicating the relative positions of two blind spot cameras when the camera of the first image is a player camera.

[0058] In the above method, the generated installation auxiliary line may include an auxiliary line indicating a horizon and an auxiliary line indicating a limited position of the stern of the ship when the camera of the first image is a stern camera.

[0059] In the above method, the generated installation auxiliary line may include an auxiliary line for indicating a limited position of the hull of the ship and an auxiliary line for indicating a relative position of the remaining blind spot camera when the camera of the first image is a blind spot camera.

[0061] In the above method, the step of transmitting the generated second image to the user terminal may transmit information for outputting the second images of all cameras installed on the ship in a segmented layout to the user terminal in response to a request for the second image.

[0062] In the above method, the installation assistance line can be implemented as augmented reality data.

[0063] According to another embodiment of the present invention for solving the above technical problem, a method for providing a camera installation guide for a ship includes a memory storing at least one program; and a processor performing a calculation by executing the at least one program, wherein the processor receives a first image from at least one camera installed on a ship, generates guide information based on characteristic information of the installed camera and the received first image, aligns an installation assistance line generated based on the generated guide information with the received first image to generate a second image, receives a request for the second image from a user terminal, and transmits the generated second image to the user terminal.

[0064] One embodiment of the present invention can provide a computer-readable recording medium storing a program for executing the above method.

[0065] The present invention is capable of various modifications and embodiments. Specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail in the detailed description. The effects and features of the present invention, as well as the methods for achieving them, will become clearer with reference to the embodiments described in detail below, along with the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below and can be implemented in various forms.

[0066] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. When describing with reference to the drawings, identical or corresponding components are given the same drawing reference numerals, and redundant descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0067] In the following examples, the terms first, second, etc. are not used in a limiting sense, but are used for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another.

[0068] In the examples below, singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0069] In the following examples, terms such as “include” or “have” mean that a feature or component described in the specification is present, and do not preclude the possibility that one or more other features or components may be added.

[0070] In some embodiments, where the implementation is otherwise feasible, a particular process sequence may be performed in a different order than described. For example, two processes described in succession may be performed substantially simultaneously, or in a reverse order from the described order.

[0071] Figure 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a method according to the present invention.

[0072] A method according to one embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for determining the installation location of a camera on a vessel. Hereinafter, the method according to the present invention will be abbreviated as a "camera position determination method." The camera position determination method of FIG. 2 can be performed by a user. If a vessel and a camera that can be installed on the vessel are provided, the user can easily determine the location where the camera should be installed on the vessel according to the camera position determination method. In particular, the user can consistently apply the camera position determination method even if the vessel model changes. Furthermore, when a camera is installed on a vessel using the camera position determination method, the blind spot of the camera coverage can be minimized.

[0073] First, the user can determine the detailed location of the bow camera installed near the bow of the ship (S210). Among the various cameras, the camera installed at the bow of the ship is the first to be installed. To minimize blind spots, the bow camera can be installed in a space below the bow camera where there are no structures other than the hull. In the present invention, the detailed location does not mean the approximate location where the camera is installed, but rather specific location information that can be expressed as a predetermined coordinate value when the entire ship is composed of three-dimensional location coordinates.

[0074] Next, once the detailed position of the player camera is determined, the user can determine the detailed position of the stern camera installed near the stern of the ship (S230).

[0075] Once the detailed location of the stern camera is determined, the user can determine the detailed location of the blind sector camera installed near the blind sector on the bow side of the ship (S250).

[0076] Once the detailed location of the blind spot camera has been determined, the user can determine the detailed locations of multiple side cameras installed near the side of the vessel (S270). In step S270, unlike other cameras, at least two side cameras may be installed on the vessel.

[0077] In determining the camera positions, the detailed positions of each camera may be positions where no structures other than the hull are included in the field of view (FOV) of the lenses of the bow camera, stern camera, blind spot camera, and side camera. Since structures other than the hull obstruct the camera's view, creating a blind sector / blind spot, the detailed positions where the cameras are installed must be determined so that no structures other than the hull are included in the field of view of the camera's lens.

[0078] Additionally, users can determine the detailed positions of the bow camera, stern camera, blind spot camera, and side camera above the maximum waterline of the ship. Furthermore, users can determine the camera locations as high as possible, as higher camera installation positions yield better SVM-matched images. Furthermore, considering camera height alone can obscure the waterline, where the ship meets the water, due to the ship's shape. Therefore, users can comprehensively consider both camera height and the observable waterline when selecting the detailed camera positions.

[0079] The camera position determination method illustrated in the flowchart of Fig. 2 most comprehensively describes the present invention, and specific embodiments of each step constituting the method will be described through Figs. 3 to 14.

[0080] Figure 3 is an exemplary drawing illustrating a ship with cameras installed in a total of six locations.

[0081] Fig. 3 illustrates a right side view (21), a first plan view (22), and a second plan view (23) of a ship. Referring to the right side view (21) of Fig. 3, it can be seen that only one bow camera, one stern camera, one blind spot camera, and one side camera are observed. The ship of the right side view (21) of Fig. 3 is assumed to have the bow camera, stern camera, blind spot camera, and side camera installed in the order described in Fig. 2. In the right side view (21) of Fig. 3, the bow camera can be installed at a position facing the forward side of the bow. The lens direction of the bow camera can be installed to face downward horizontally or at a preset downward angle. In the right side view (21) of Fig. 3, the stern camera is installed to observe the rear of the ship, and like the bow camera, can be installed to face downward horizontally or at a preset downward angle. In the right side view (21) of Fig. 3, the detailed position of the blind spot camera may be a position where the direction of the lens of the blind spot camera can be installed in a direction perpendicular to the surface on which the blind spot camera is mounted on the ship.

[0082] The first plan view (22) of Fig. 3 shows a general plan view of a ship with cameras installed. Referring to the first plan view (22) of Fig. 3, it can be seen that the bow camera is installed at the end of the bow, the stern camera is installed at the center of the rearmost part of the ceiling of the ship, and there are a total of two side cameras, one each installed on the left and right sides based on the direction in which the length of the ship's hull extends from the ceiling of the ship. The blind spot camera is not shown in the first plan view (22) of Fig. 3.

[0083] The second plan view (23) of Fig. 3 is a special plan view showing all cameras installed on the ship. In the second plan view (23) of Fig. 2, blind spot cameras that are not visible because they are covered by the ship's hull are also shown installed at positions 3 and 4, and the numbers of each camera in the second plan view (23) of Fig. 3 may indicate the order in which they were installed. Depending on the embodiment, the installation order of the cameras at positions 3 and 4 may be reversed, and the same applies to positions 5 and 6.

[0084] Figure 4 is a drawing showing an example of a detailed location where a player camera is installed.

[0085] A user can determine the detailed position of a bow camera (CAM1) installed near the bow of a ship. At this time, the user can determine the detailed position of the bow camera as a position where a pulpit or anchor is spaced apart by a certain distance in the downward direction of the bow camera (CAM1). The certain distance is a distance value determined experimentally, mathematically, and empirically, and may be information that can be received in advance in text form and utilized by the user when performing the method according to the present invention. As described above, the user can determine the detailed position of the bow camera (CAM1) as a position where a pulpit or anchor is spaced apart by a certain distance in the downward direction of the bow camera (CAM1). However, as described in FIG. 2, the detailed position of the bow camera (CAM1) can be determined at a position that complies with the principle that no other structure other than the hull should be in the field of view of the bow camera (CAM1).

[0086] Fig. 4 illustrates a right side view (410a), a plan view (410b) of the third vessel, a plan view (430a), a right side view (430b), and a front view (430c) of the fourth vessel, respectively. In the right side view (410a), the plan view (410b) of the third vessel, and the plan view (430a), the right side view (430b), and the front view (430c) of the fourth vessel, a bow camera (CAM1) is installed near the bow, and in Fig. 4, the detailed position where the bow camera (CAM1) is installed may be a position where a pulpit or an anchor is spaced apart from a certain distance in the lower direction of the bow camera (CAM1), while at the same time, a position that can comply with the principle that no structure other than the hull should be in the field of view of the bow camera (CAM1).

[0087] Figure 5 is a drawing showing an example of a detailed location where a stern camera (CAM2) is installed.

[0088] The user can determine the detailed location of the stern camera (CAM2) installed near the stern of the vessel. At this time, the user can determine the highest location near the stern of the vessel as the detailed location of the stern camera (CAM2). Alternatively, the user can specify the highest location on the vessel, determine whether a camera can be installed at that location, and then install the stern camera (CAM2) at that highest location to face the rear. Furthermore, if the stern camera (CAM2) is installed at the highest location on the vessel and the blind spot from the stern of the vessel is longer than a threshold value, the user can determine the detailed location of the stern camera (CAM2) at the next highest location. In particular, if the vessel is a leisure boat, multiple fishing rod holders may be installed near the ceiling of the vessel, and the stern camera (CAM2) may be installed on the fishing rod holders. This will be described in FIG. 10.

[0089] FIG. 5 illustrates a right side view (510a) and a plan view (510b) of the fifth vessel, a right side view (530a) and a plan view (530b) of the sixth vessel, and a right side view (550a) and a plan view (550b) of the seventh vessel, respectively. Referring to FIG. 5, the stern camera (CAM2) is installed at the highest position near the stern of each vessel, and in order to prevent the blind spot from being formed from the stern of the vessel longer than a threshold value, it can be seen that it is installed at the next highest position, not the highest position, on each vessel. In addition, the detailed position at which the stern camera (CAM2) is installed in FIG. 5 may be a position that can comply with the principle that there should be no other structures other than the hull in the field of view of the stern camera (CAM2).

[0090] Figure 6 is a drawing showing an example of a detailed location where a blind spot camera is installed.

[0091] After determining the detailed locations of the ship's bow and stern cameras, the user can determine the detailed location of the blind spot camera (CAM3) installed near the ship's blind sector / blind spot. In this case, the user can determine both edges of the curve at the bow side as the detailed location of the blind spot camera (CAM3).

[0092] Fig. 6 illustrates a plan view (610a) and a right-side view (610b) of the 8th vessel, respectively. Referring to the plan view (610a) of the 8th vessel, it can be seen that a blind spot camera (CAM3) is installed on both edges of the curve at the bow-side of the vessel, and a predetermined angle of view is formed centered on the position of the blind spot camera (CAM3). In addition, the right-side view (610b) of the 8th vessel illustrates that the blind spot camera (CAM3) installed on the vessel is installed in a direction that covers the upper range of the waterline of the vessel.

[0093] Figure 7 is a drawing showing the shape of a blind spot camera and the detailed location where the blind spot camera is installed from various angles.

[0094] The blind spot camera (710) includes a camera module that generates an image, an outer cover made of a material that is highly waterproof and corrosion-resistant due to its nature as being installed on the ship's hull, and a power supply terminal formed in the form of a cable for receiving power from a power supply source inside the ship. Since the blind spot camera (710) must be installed by drilling a hole in the ship's hull, it has a shape that protrudes outward according to a predetermined curvature. Hereinafter, for the convenience of explanation, the blind spot camera (710) of the shape illustrated in FIG. 7 will be referred to as an A-type camera.

[0095] The bow view (720) of FIG. 7 shows the result that most closely represents the detailed location where the blind spot camera (710) is installed on the ship. That is, the bow view (720) closely represents the edge of the curve at the bow side of the ship. The front view (730) of FIG. 7 exemplarily shows that the blind spot camera (710) is installed in the lower direction on both sides based on the center of the bow. The side view (740) of FIG. 7 can be used as a drawing for estimating the installation height of the blind spot camera (710) based on the waterline.

[0096] Figure 8 is a drawing showing, by way of example, the detailed locations where the player camera, stern camera, and side camera are installed.

[0097] In Fig. 7, the blind spot camera (710) is nicknamed an A-type camera, and the camera of the type shown in Fig. 8 is nicknamed a B-type camera to distinguish it from the A-type camera.

[0098] The B-type camera (810) of FIG. 8 may be a bow camera, a stern camera, or a side camera. The B-type camera (810) has a different shape from the blind spot camera (710), which is a type A camera. The B-type camera (810) may include an external cover and power supply terminal of a different shape from the blind spot camera (710), and unlike the blind spot camera (710), there is no need to secure installation space by drilling a hole in the hull of the ship.

[0099] Figure 9 is a schematic drawing showing an example of a B-type camera being installed.

[0100] The B-type camera (810) described in FIG. 8 can be installed at a specific location of a ship at a certain angle by means of an angle-forming member (910). In FIG. 9, an embodiment in which the B-type camera (810) can be installed while being placed on the angle-forming member (910) is exemplarily described by means of an angle-adjusted B-type camera icon (930a) that is a combination of a B-type camera icon (810a) and an angle-forming member icon (910a). Although not shown in FIG. 9, the angle of the angle-forming member (910) can be varied through a user's input.

[0101] Figure 10 is a schematic drawing showing another example of a stern camera being installed at a detailed location on a ship.

[0102] In Fig. 10, a perspective view (101) of the 9th vessel is a drawing showing the results of observing the 9th vessel from a diagonal direction at the rear. Referring to Fig. 10, it can be seen that six fishing rod holders (fishing rod holders) are installed near the ceiling (102) of the 9th vessel. The fishing rod holders are not installed as a basic feature on all vessels, but if a camera support member (1010) is mounted on the fishing rod holder, the stern camera of the 9th vessel can be installed on the fishing rod holder through the camera support member (1010). At this time, the stern camera that can be installed can be a B-type camera (810), and depending on the embodiment, it can be an A-type camera.

[0103] Figure 11 is a drawing for explaining the process of determining the detailed location where the side camera is installed.

[0104] A user can determine the detailed positions of multiple side cameras installed near the side of a ship. Fig. 11 shows the horizontal and vertical positions of the side cameras installed on the ship in detail. The ship illustrated in Fig. 11 is a 10th ship with a maximum hull length of 25.1 m, and Fig. 11 shows a right side view (1110a) of the 10th ship, a plan view (1110b) of the 10th ship, and a front view (1110c) of the 10th ship in conjunction with each other. For convenience of explanation, in Fig. 11, 7.23 m is referred to as the first horizontal distance, 12.5 m as the second horizontal distance, 16.1 m as the third horizontal distance, 22.4 m as the fourth horizontal distance, 2.0 m as the first vertical distance, and 3.8 m as the second vertical distance, respectively. The first to fourth horizontal distances, the first vertical distance, and the second vertical distance mentioned above may vary each time depending on the size / model of the ship.

[0105] First, the user can determine the highest first position on the ceiling of the 10th vessel as the detailed position of the side camera (CAM4-1) as the first case (Case 1). Here, the highest first position on the ceiling of the 10th vessel means a position at a height of the second vertical distance from the water surface and a distance of the second horizontal distance from the stern of the 10th vessel. However, when the side camera (CAM4-1) is installed according to the first case, the user can check the front view (1110c) of the 10th vessel to determine whether the blind spot distance exceeds a preset distance (e.g., 0.9 m), and if so, can initialize (cancel) the detailed position of the side camera (CAM4-1) determined in the first case, and determine the highest second position on the left and right, which is lower than the first position, as the detailed position of the side camera (CAM4-2).

[0106] The user can determine a second position lower than the first position as the detailed position of the side camera (CAM4-2) as the second case (Case 2). Referring to the right side view (1110a) of Fig. 11, one of the second positions may exist at a position at a height equal to the first vertical distance (2.0 m) from the water surface and a distance equal to the first horizontal distance (7.23 m) from the stern of the 10th vessel, and the other may exist at a position at a height equal to the first vertical distance (2.0 m) from the water surface and a distance equal to the third horizontal distance (22.4 m) from the stern of the 10th vessel.

[0107] That is, in the present embodiment, since the number of second positions is greater than the number of first positions, at least two side cameras (CAM4-2) in the second case (Case 2) may be installed in the left (port) direction of the 10th vessel, and at least two side cameras (CAM4-2) may be installed in the right (starboard) direction of the 10th vessel. The increase in the number of side cameras (CAM4-2) installed in the second case is a correction taken in consideration of the fact that the coverage area radius of the side cameras (CAM4-2) is further reduced as the height at which the side cameras (CAM4-2) are installed is lowered from the first position to the second position. Referring to FIG. 11, when the side camera (CAM4-1) is installed according to the first case (Case 1), the coverage radius may be 12.6 m, which is 12.5 m less than 25.1 m, and when the side camera (CAM4-2) is installed according to the second case (Case 2), the coverage radius may be 9 m, which is 16.1 m less than 25.1 m. The values ​​of the coverage radius described above are exemplary values, and thus the coverage radius for each case may vary depending on the embodiment.

[0108] Fig. 12 is a drawing exemplarily showing the coverage radius of a camera installed on a ship in the present invention.

[0109] At this time, the user may determine the detailed position of the side camera so that the limit height (coverage radius) of the angle of view of the side camera becomes the height obtained by multiplying the height at which the side camera is installed by a preset height value during the process of determining the detailed position of the side camera by the method according to the present invention. The recommended coverage radius of the camera in the present invention may be the value obtained by multiplying the height at which the camera is installed by 4.5, as illustrated in FIG. 12. If the coverage radius of the camera is narrower than the value obtained by multiplying the height at which the camera is installed by 4.5, the number of side cameras installed on the ship may be greater than two. That is, the number of side cameras may vary depending on the ratio between the installation height of the camera and the performance (particularly, the coverage area) of each individual camera.

[0110] Additionally, the user may determine the detailed position of the side camera so that the left and right limit distances of the side camera's field of view are greater than or equal to preset distance values ​​during the process of determining the detailed position of the side camera. In Fig. 12, the limit distance is illustrated as 14 m, but may vary depending on the embodiment.

[0111] Although the side camera is mainly described in Fig. 11, the user can also determine the horizontal and vertical positions of the detailed positions of the bow camera, stern camera, and blind spot camera, each at a predetermined distance from the end of the stern of the vessel. In addition, the user can change the horizontal and vertical positions of the detailed positions of the bow camera, stern camera, blind spot camera, and side camera within a predetermined range, depending on the model information / size information of the vessel.

[0112] FIG. 13 is a drawing for explaining a device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0113] The camera installation location visual output device (1300) illustrated in FIG. 13 may be a device that automatically determines the detailed location where a camera is installed on a ship using the process described in FIGS. 2 to 12 and visually outputs the determined detailed location through a terminal.

[0114] The camera installation location visual output device (1300) illustrated in FIG. 13 may be implemented as a physical device or a logical device. As an example, the camera installation location visual output device (1300) may be implemented in the form of an application (program) for implementing visual changes in various information and UI output on the screen (1390b) of a user terminal (1390a) used by a user. In FIG. 13, the user terminal (1390a) is illustrated as a smartphone, but includes all electronic devices such as tablet PCs, laptops, and PCs.

[0115] Referring to FIG. 13, it can be seen that the camera installation position visual output device (1300) according to the present invention includes a vessel information collection unit (1310), a vessel information judgment unit (1330), a detailed position determination unit (1350), and a terminal output control unit (1370). The vessel information collection unit (1310), the vessel information judgment unit (1330), the detailed position determination unit (1350), and the terminal output control unit (1370) illustrated in FIG. 13 are modules logically and conceptually separated in order to intuitively explain the process performed by the camera installation position visual output device (1300) in the process of implementing the method according to the present invention. Therefore, although four sub-modules are illustrated in FIG. 13, the device may include fewer than four or more than four sub-modules depending on the embodiment.

[0116] In addition, the vessel information collection unit (1310), vessel information judgment unit (1330), detailed position determination unit (1350), and terminal output control unit (1370) of FIG. 13 may be physically implemented as devices capable of transmitting and receiving or processing information, or may be logically implemented as a script for processing the corresponding process. When the vessel information collection unit (1310), vessel information judgment unit (1330), detailed position determination unit (1350), and terminal output control unit (1370) are physically implemented, they may be implemented using at least one of application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), digital signal processors (DSPs), digital signal processing devices (DSPDs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), controllers, micro-controllers, microprocessors, and other electrical units for performing functions, just like conventional processors.

[0117] The vessel information collection unit (1310) can collect at least one of vessel size information and model information. Furthermore, the vessel information collection unit (1310) stores various information (numerical values, location coordinates, etc.) necessary to determine the detailed location of the camera.

[0118] When the size information and model information of a ship are input, the ship information judgment unit (1330) can compare the input information with the information stored in the ship information collection unit (1310) to identify which ship the input information is about.

[0119] The detailed position determination unit (1350) can determine the detailed positions where the ship's camera is installed, as described through FIGS. 2 to 12.

[0120] The terminal output control unit (1370) can process the detailed locations determined by the detailed location determination unit (1350) into visualized information such as a 2D or 3D image and control the output through the display (1390b) of the user terminal (1390a).

[0121] Fig. 14 is a drawing for explaining a sub-module included in the detailed positioning unit of Fig. 13.

[0122] Referring to FIG. 14, it can be seen that the detailed position determination unit (1350) includes a bow position determination unit (1351), a stern position determination unit (1353), a blind spot position determination unit (1355), and a side position determination unit (1357). The detailed position determination unit (1350) illustrated in FIG. 14 includes a bow position determination unit (1351), a stern position determination unit (1353), a blind spot position determination unit (1355), and a side position determination unit (1357). The bow position determination unit (1351), the stern position determination unit (1353), the blind spot position determination unit (1355), and the side position determination unit (1357) are modules that are logically and conceptually separated in order to explain the process performed by the detailed position determination unit (1350) in the process of implementing the method according to the present invention. Therefore, although four sub-modules are illustrated in FIG. 14, the detailed position determination unit (1350) may include fewer than four or more than four sub-modules depending on the embodiment. In addition, the forward position determination unit (1351), the stern position determination unit (1353), the blind spot position determination unit (1355), and the side position determination unit (1357) of FIG. 14 are sub-modules of the detailed position determination unit (1350), and thus can be implemented using at least one of application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), digital signal processors (DSPs), digital signal processing devices (DSPDs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), controllers, micro-controllers, microprocessors, and other electrical units for performing functions.

[0123] When information about a ship is input, the bow position determination unit (1351) can determine the detailed location of a bow camera installed near the bow of the ship.

[0124] When the detailed position of the bow camera is determined, the stern position determination unit (1353) can determine the detailed position of the stern camera installed near the stern of the ship.

[0125] When the detailed location of the stern camera is determined, the blind spot location determination unit (1355) can determine the detailed location of the blind spot camera installed near the blind spot (blind sector) on the bow side of the ship.

[0126] When the detailed location of the blind spot camera is determined, the side position determination unit (1357) can determine the detailed locations of multiple side cameras installed near the side of the ship.

[0131] Fig. 16 is a block diagram showing an example of a camera installation guide providing device according to the present invention.

[0132] Referring to FIG. 16, it can be seen that the camera installation guide providing device (1500) includes a communication unit (1510), a processor (1530), and a memory (1550).

[0133] The communication unit (1510) may include one or more components that enable wired / wireless communication with external devices.

[0139] Figure 17 is a drawing exemplarily illustrating a second image generated by a camera installation guide providing device.

[0140] The bottom of Fig. 17 illustrates a target vessel (1700). A total of six cameras are installed on the target vessel. Here, the cameras may be at least one of a bow camera, a stern camera, a blind sector camera, and a side camera. The target vessel (1700) of Fig. 17 is assumed to have one bow camera, one stern camera, two blind sector cameras, and two side cameras installed at positions 1 through 6.

[0141] In the present invention, the guide information generated by the camera installation guide providing device (1500) using the first image and the characteristic information of the camera refers to the basic data (raw data) for generating an installation assistance line. As an example, the guide information may be information about the cameras installed on the target vessel (1700), and more specifically, the guide information may be information about the relative positions of the cameras installed on the target vessel (1700). As another example, the guide information may be information about the external appearance characteristics of the target vessel (1700) in the first image generated by the camera, and the external appearance characteristics of the target vessel (1700) may be external appearance characteristics of a specific area of ​​the vessel that change based on the installation position of the camera that generated the first image.

[0142] Additionally, the guide information may be information for indicating a horizontal line in the second image. This will be described later in the description of the first split screen (1710) to the sixth split screen (1760).

[0143] The camera installation guide providing device (1500) according to the present invention can transmit information for outputting second images of all cameras installed on a target vessel (1700) to the user terminal (1511) in a segmented layout in response to a request for a second image from a user terminal (1511). Fig. 17 exemplarily displays the result of outputting second images of all cameras installed on a target vessel (1700) to the user terminal (1511).

The blind spot camera can be installed with its angle adjusted so that the hull line of the ship is located between the first type of installation auxiliary line (1833) having an angle of -45 degrees and -60 degrees.

[0151] In the present invention, the installation auxiliary line displayed in the second image may include an auxiliary line indicating a horizon and an auxiliary line indicating a limited position of the hull line of the target vessel (1700) when the camera of the first image is a side camera. Here, the auxiliary line indicating the horizon in the second image of the side camera is a first type installation auxiliary line (1833) having an angle of 30 degrees and 45 degrees. The side camera may be installed with its angle adjusted so that the horizon is located between the first type installation auxiliary lines (1833) having an angle of 30 degrees and 45 degrees.
