Autonomous Mooring towards Autonomous Maritime Navigation and Offshore Operations

2020

Bollard is a vital component of mooring system. It is the anchor point for mooring ropes to be fixed in order to secure the vessel or ship. An algorithm that translates the segmented mask of bollard output from masked R-CNN along with bounding box and associated class probability to its corresponding edge coordinate and finally to the single reference point for efficient detection and classification of bollard towards autonomous mooring is presented. At first stage, Mask R-CNN framework is trained with custom built bollard. The model obtained from the training is inferred with real data resulting in instance segment of bollard. The segmented mask obtained contains relatively large amount of…

Monitoring Mediterranean marine pollution using remote sensing and hydrodynamic modelling

2011

Human activities contaminate both coastal areas and open seas, even though impacts are different in terms of pollutants, ecosystems and recovery time. In particular, Mediterranean offshore pollution is mainly related to maritime transport of oil, accounting for 25% of the global maritime traffic and, during the last 25 years, for nearly 7% of the world oil accidents, thus causing serious biological impacts on both open sea and coastal zone habitats. This paper provides a general review of maritime pollution monitoring using integrated approaches of remote sensing and hydrodynamic modeling; focusing on the main results of the MAPRES (Marine pollution monitoring and detection by aerial survei…

Waterfront and Transformation in Contexts of Conflict

2016

This chapter defines in what way the seaside and the waterfront can be place of conflicts among infrastructures, production, unplanned urbanisation, bathing tourism and many other activities. The last section of the chapter describes synthetically the study case of Saint-Nazare Submarine base and the terms of regeneration of a typically place of conflict, like a military area connected with the waterfront. The transformations underway in the waterfront areas present a variety of complex settlement dynamics that are ascribable to the infrastructural and productive nature of many activities, such as unplanned urbanisation, the pressures of bathing tourism and mass tourism, and the system of s…

On the structure of the similarity orbits of Jordan operators as analytic homogeneous manifolds

1989

For Jordan elementsJ in a topological algebraB with unite, an open groupB−1 of invertible elements and continuous inversion we consider the similarity orbitsS G (J)={gJg−1:g∈G} (G the groupB−1⋂{e+c:c∈I},I⊂B a bilateral continuous embedded topological ideal). We construct rational local cross sections to the conjugation mapping\(\pi ^J G \to S_G \left( J \right)\left( {\pi ^J \left( g \right) = gJg^{ - 1} } \right)\) and give to the orbitS G (J) the local structure of a rational manifold. Of particular interest is the caseB=L(H) (bounded linear operators on a separable Hilbert spaceH),I=B, for which we obtain the following: 1. If for a Hilbert space operator there exist norm continuous local…

Total curvatures of compact complex submanifolds in $$C/P^n$$

1995

LetM be a complex submanifold in\(C/P^n\). We define the total curvatures ofM and we get a local interpretation of them. Finally, we give a topological characterization for the total (non-absolute) curvature of complex hypersurfaces in\(C/P^n\).

The volume of geodesic balls and tubes about totally geodesic submanifolds in compact symmetric spaces

1997

AbstractLet M be a compact Riemannian symmetric space. We give an analytical expression for the area and volume functions of geodesic balls in M and for the area and volume functions of tubes around some totally geodesic submanifolds P of M. We plot the graphs of these functions for some compact irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank two.

Comparison theorems for the volume of a complex submanifold of a Kaehler manifold

1990

LetM be a Kaehler manifold of real dimension 2n with holomorphic sectional curvatureK H≥4λ and antiholomorphic Ricci curvatureρ A≥(2n−2)λ, andP is a complex hypersurface. We give a bound for the quotient (volume ofP)/(volume ofM) and prove that this bound is attained if and only ifP=C P n−1(λ) andM=C P n(λ). Moreover, we give some results on the volume of of tubes aboutP inM.

Generic Properties of Dynamical Systems

2006

The state of a concrete system (from physics, chemistry, ecology, or other sciences) is described using (finitely many, say n) observable quantities (e.g., positions and velocities for mechanical systems, population densities for echological systems, etc.). Hence, the state of a system may be represented as a point $x$ in a geometrical space $\mathbb R^n$. In many cases, the quantities describing the state are related, so that the phase space (space of all possible states) is a submanifold $M\subset \mathbb R^n$. The time evolution of the system is represented by a curve $x_t$, $t \in\mathbb R$ drawn on the phase space $M$, or by a sequence $x_n \in M$, $n \in\mathbb Z$, if we consider disc…

Assessment of the Present and Future Offshore Wind Power Potential: A Case Study in a Target Territory of the Baltic Sea Near the Latvian Coast

2013

Offshore wind energy development promises to be a significant domestic renewable energy source in Latvia. The reliable prediction of present and future wind resources at offshore sites is crucial for planning and selecting the location for wind farms. The overall goal of this paper is the assessment of offshore wind power potential in a target territory of the Baltic Sea near the Latvian coast as well as the identification of a trend in the future wind energy potential for the study territory. The regional climate model CLM and High Resolution Limited Area Model (Hirlam) simulations were used to obtain the wind climatology data for the study area. The results indicated that offshore wind en…
