Greater ChinaTech

Scientists at Harbin Engineering University in northeast China have developed a system to provide ships with complete 360-degree visibility.

The system features a dual-module design with eight to 12 cameras per unit, integrating both visible-light and far-infrared sensors to ensure reliable performance across varying visibility conditions, allowing for real-time panoramic synthesis capability.

“Accurate obstacle detection and expanded situational awareness are critical to preventing collisions,” said Cai Chengtao, dean of the College of Intelligent Systems Science and Engineering at Harbin Engineering University.
