Project description
Having a constant, even line of the hull of the vessel in the frame and knowing its current course, it is possible to have in each frame an understanding of the current azimuth direction of the camera. Based on this, in each frame it is necessary to determine the approximate azimuth direction of the detected ice track (for further transmission to the automatic course control unit and exit to this ice track).
A similar algorithm is developed for a series of Ice Radar frames (identification of ice tracks on it). And comparing with the azimuth line also determine the general direction of the identified ice track.
It is desirable to perform this task in the Matlab software environment. The final product should look like a program (or, in extreme cases, a ready-made function in the matlab), in which similar videos are downloaded for each of the cases and a visual segmentation occurs on the image and a calculated “average line” is drawn, while its approximate azimuth direction is given.
It is possible to use OpenCV.
A brief technical description is required.
