Information processing device, control method, program, and storage medium

This invention describes a system that calculates the height of the water surface from a ship. It works by using a measurement device on the ship to gather detailed 3D point cloud data. The system then specifically looks for data points that reflect off the water, focusing on an area a certain distance from the shore and near the ship's measurement position. From this filtered water reflection data, it calculates the water surface height, specifically by averaging the height values of these data points.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread availability of higher-resolution marine Lidar and Sonar. The improved density and accuracy of point cloud data now makes simple statistical methods, like those claimed, more reliable for water surface height calculation.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, point cloud sensor integration
