Page 11: Targetless Tracking
Traditional relative positioning Sensors rely on placing targets on the structure or vessel which the Sensor then detects and can report a position relative to. SceneScan removes the requirement to place targets into the scene and instead provides tracking information relative to natural or man-made structures within the Sensor field of view. -

Page 19: Tracking Information Quality
Tracking Information Quality Once tracking is under way the Data Quality Bar indicates the level of confidence the system has in the quality of the scene data that is being acquired. The greater the size of the filled portion of the Data Quality Bar, the greater the level of confidence in the information. The colour of the Data Quality Bar and positional data also reflects the level of confidence: RED, YELLOW or GREEN, with GREEN meaning highest confidence. -
Page 20: Display Settings
Display Settings To provide ample visibility during daytime operation and to limit glare during night shifts, SceneScan Dashboard offers two display settings: Day Mode and Night Mode. In either mode the brightness can be further adjusted by the Screen Brightness control. - Page 21 Display Settings (Continued) The central BEV can be toggled between a traditional circular BEV, and a full scene mode. The BEV can be further expanded to a full screen mode by pressing F11, or using the Press F8 to toggle modes, or use the Toggle BEV Shape hotkey. The latter is useful when Toggle Full Screen hotkey viewing complex scenes such as harbours.

Note: Up to four additional static blanking zones can be configured from within the SceneScan Service Interface. These are used to mask segments of the scan rotation that are obscured by the vessel’s superstructure. See the Static Blanking Zones section on page 64 for further information. -
Page 25: Scanner Tilt Controls
SceneScan beam must be tilted upwards. When starting tracking, the scanner will initially use the currently selected angle. No “sweep” will be performed. Manual Tilt can also be used to visually survey the scene around the vessel without tracking. -
Page 26: Tracking
Tracking To Start Tracking Ensure that the Dashboard is In Command (see Command Mode). Press the Start Tracking button. Press Apply on the Apply/Cancel pop-up. Tilt Optimisation will start. The angle chosen will depend upon the current mode: • Auto Tilt - The Sensor will sweep through all possible tilt angles to determine the optimum angle for the scene tracking. -
Page 27: Adjusting The Scene Reference Point
Warning: Changing the Scene Reference Point will disable the DP Feed. This is This is the point within the scene that SceneScan will report its position relative to. By done because changing the reference point can dramatically alter the output default SceneScan will select the centre of the tracked scene as its Scene Reference from the DP Feed. -
Page 28: Enabling Dp Output
It is highly recommended that Auto tilt mode is used to start tracking when using the Sensor will not have the DP Feed enabled. The reason for this is to SceneScan. However, if a situation is encountered where tracking performance is allow the operator to review the detected scene, and to set a Scene unacceptable when using Auto tilt mode then the option is available to manually select a tilt Reference Point of their choice before enabling DP Feeds. -
Page 29: Positional Display Modes
Positional Display Modes Range, Bearing & Heading The relative positions of the SceneScan vessel and the Scene Reference Point can be expressed either as Range and Bearing values, or as 'A' and 'B' positions on a rectangular Range, Bearing and Heading (R/B/H) mode displays the distance and the bearing of the coordinate frame. -
Page 30: A And B Axes (A Pos And B Pos)
Positional Display Modes (Continued) A and B Axes (A Pos and B Pos) In this mode, the position of the Sensor vessel is expressed in metres from the scene along A and B axes which have their origin at the Scene Reference Point. The vessel's relative heading is measured clockwise from the A axis. -
