Marine Vessel Map Cell Risk Assessment

The patent segments the map data into multiple cells and further divides obstacles into different types (dynamic, stationary, navigable, non-navigable) with varying risk levels. Instead of treating all obstacles uniformly, each cell can have customized risk parameters based on the specific obstacle types present, enabling nuanced risk assessment while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular cell-based processing

The patent applies local quality by allowing different risk parameters to be assigned to different cells based on local obstacle characteristics. Each cell can have customized risk levels and obstacle type classifications relevant to its specific environment, rather than applying a uniform classification system across the entire map. This enables precise local risk assessment while the overall system remains structured and manageable

The patent divides the navigation environment into discrete cells, each with its own risk parameters and obstacle classifications. This segmentation allows detailed risk assessment to be performed independently for each cell, improving overall navigation safety through comprehensive local analysis while keeping the computational complexity manageable by processing cells in a modular, systematic manner

The patent implements dynamic risk assessment where risk parameters for each cell can be updated in real-time based on sensor measurements and changing obstacle positions. The system dynamically adjusts risk levels and obstacle classifications as the marine vessel moves through different cells, enabling adaptive navigation safety without requiring a static, overly complex predetermined system
