Maritime safety systems for crew and passengers
View Patent ↗A fall detection and recovery system includes cameras positioned around a perimeter of a vessel. The system analyzes video from the cameras to detect a falling object from the vessel and records a geolocation of the vessel at a time of falling of the object. The system applies environmental readings to evolve a recovery location for the falling object from the time of falling to a present time.
1. A system comprising:
a plurality of cameras positioned around a vessel perimeter;
logic to analyze video from the cameras to detect a falling object at the vessel perimeter;
logic to record a vessel geolocation at a time of falling of the falling object; and
logic to apply wind and current measurements on an ongoing basis to evolve a recovery radius for the falling object from the time of falling of the falling object to a present time.
2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
logic to cause the ejection of dye into water around the vessel in a fall zone where the falling object was detected at the time of falling of the falling object.
3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
an aerial drone configured to assist in location and recovery of the falling object by launching from the vessel perimeter at a time proximate to the time of falling of the falling object.
4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
logic to cause launch of a buoy having human flotation characteristics at a time proximate to the time of falling of the falling object.
5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
logic to provide a video loop having a video loop start time preceding the time of falling of the falling object and a video loop end time after the time of falling of the falling object.
6. A method comprising:
operating a plurality of cameras positioned around a vessel perimeter;
analyzing video from the cameras to detect a falling object at the vessel perimeter;
recording a vessel geolocation at a time of falling of the falling object; and
applying wind and current measurements on an ongoing basis to evolve a recovery radius for the falling object from the time of falling of the falling object to a present time.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
ejecting dye into water around the vessel in a fall zone where the falling object was detected at the time of falling of the falling object.
8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
launching an aerial drone from the vessel perimeter at a time proximate to the time of falling of the falling object.
9. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
launching a buoy having human flotation characteristics at a time proximate to the time of falling of the falling object.
10. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
displaying a video loop having a video loop start time preceding the time of falling of the falling object and a video loop end time after the time of falling of the falling object.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions including instructions that, when executed by a processor, configure the processor to perform a method comprising:
operating a plurality of cameras positioned around a vessel perimeter;
analyzing video from the cameras to detect a falling object at the vessel perimeter;
recording a vessel geolocation at a time of falling of the falling object; and
applying wind and current measurements on an ongoing basis to evolve a recovery radius for the falling object from the time of falling of the falling object to a present time.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , the method further comprising:
ejecting dye into water around the vessel in a fall zone where the falling object was detected at the time of falling of the falling object.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , the method further comprising:
launching an aerial drone from the vessel perimeter at a time proximate to the time of falling of the falling object.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , the method further comprising:
launching a buoy having human flotation characteristics at a time proximate to the time of falling of the falling object.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , the method further comprising:
displaying a video loop having a video loop start time preceding the time of falling of the falling object and a video loop end time after the time of falling of the falling object.
