Chapter 26 Clearcruise; Reality); Clearcruise™ Features - Raymarine LIGHTHOUSE 4 Operation Instructions Manual

26.1 ClearCruise™ features
ClearCruise™ features are designed for enhancing situational awareness
and aiding navigation.
ClearCruise™ technology provides 2 separate features, which are described
in more detail throughout this chapter:
• Object Detection (Video Analytics)
• Augmented Reality (AR)
Object Detection
[Object Detection] (Video Analytics) is a feature available for M100, M200,
and M300 Series thermal cameras. Intelligent thermal analytics technology
provides audible and visual alerts when "non-water" objects are identified
in the scene. Vessels, obstacles, and navigation markers can all be
automatically identified by the camera without the need for Chart or Radar
data.
Compatible cameras for Object Detection
• Thermal Camera (M100, M200, or M300 Series), running the latest
available software version.

for your camera.

Note:
Weather conditions can cause the target's temperature, luminance,
contrast or chrominance to be below a detectable range in relation to
the background image. Therefore, the effectiveness of the ClearCruise
Object Detection (Video Analytics) feature for distinguishing targets and
non-targets is dependent on optimal scene conditions. It is recommended:
• The visible image is adjusted to contain good color, brightness and
contrast;
• Accuracy can be improved by excluding irrelevant regions such as sun
glare.
Augmented Reality
The [Augmented Reality] feature places layers of digital information directly
over the top of the Video app's video feed. Data from the Chart app is used
to generate informative text and images (flags) on the Video app. When
calibrated correctly, ClearCruise™ Augmented Reality accurately overlays
automatically-updating flags on the Video app so they overlap real-life
objects.
Required components for Augmented Reality (IP cameras)
• AR200 Augmented Reality Sensor
• IP camera (CAM210IP or CAM220IP)
Required components for Augmented Reality (M-Series cameras)
• AR200 Augmented Reality Sensor
• M-Series camera (M100, M200 and M300 Series)
Important:
Cameras utilizing ClearCruise™ Augmented Reality are subject to an
unstable image on rough waters.
