“SEAGULL” VIDEO IMAGE CORRECTION MODULE
Areas of application:
The program is used in the design of video presentation on the wall screens with any geometry different from that provided by default in the simulator visual channel;
The program is intended for setting up parameters for correcting geometry of simulator visual channel, and for adjusting parameters of luminance transition in the zones where the image is overlapped by the adjacent visual channels.
Notes:
1. Overall number of channels which geometry correction is allowed simultaneously for, is limited by the license;
2. The program is not required for the standard simulator operation and can be deleted from the configuration after the setup.
General information:
The program allows data editing in the case of the running visual channels, and if the channels have not been run;
For the edited data to be displayed immediately on the visual channels, they should be running; it is also necessary to load an NTPRO exercise;
An adjustment data file (profile) can be assigned to a group of channels. The adjustment profile contains information on the set of visual tasks for the given group of channels, on the mutual arrangement of channels relative to each other, visual settings of each channel, information on the geometry correction, correction of butting edges and colour corrections.
Adjustable parameters of visual channels:
Setting direction of the channel observation angle; Adjustment of the channel orientation vertical tilt; Adjustment of the channel orientation tilt horizontally; Setting of horizon line position vertically; Adjustment of the observation direction horizontal shift; Fine adjustment (correction) of the channel geometry on the cylindrical and semi-
spherical screens (to eliminate the picture distortion); Fine adjustment (correction) of the channel colour zone.
Editing visual channels in a group:
The channels can be arranged horizontally and/or vertically relative to each other; It is possible to adjust the overlap angle of the adjacent channels on the butt; It is possible to adjust the blend effect (smooth transition of one channel to another
with a proper adjustment of form, location, colour and hue) on the channel joints; Colour editing allows compensating physical differences in the dynamic range of
colours and projector brightness, enabling their equalising on the adjacent channels.

Notes:
The product license specifies an individual licensing option for each type of a standard bridge configuration. The numeric value of the option determines the number of permitted standard bridges of the given type.
The product license can include both, standard bridge options and options for individual simulator software models and components, which allow simulator configurations to be created not only with standard bridges but also with bridges of arbitrary configurations (within the permitted options).

DATABASES
EXERCISE AREAS
Detailed 3-D databases with high-resolution true-colour texturing can be displayed by VIS4000 visualization system. Spatial terrain, 3-D radar model and floating objects models support water level (tidal effect) simulation. The database can include more than 1000 models of aids to navigation, cultural and industrial objects and consist of more than 500 000 triangles. Databases are supplied together with a set of Transas vector electronic charts, which correspond to the database content, to be displayed on the ECDIS, mooring page of the Conning and Instructor station.
Possible applications (not limited to):
Pilot training; Mooring operations training; General navigation training; Consulting and port construction; Demo and gaming purposes.
Object library can include (but not limited to):
3-D submarine and above-water terrain; Aids to navigation – buoys, lighthouses with light characteristics according to the
British Admiralty List of Lights and vector electronic chart, unique labels (numbering), shapes (topmarks) sound signals and radar beacons;
Port facility models – cranes, tanks, chimneys, elevators, containers, vehicles, towers etc. (from the library of more than 500 objects), moving objects;
Models of unique and standard buildings and monuments, bridges with a night time view presentation;
Piers, jetties and dolphins for mooring operations training.
Development of new exercise areas which are not currently included into the Transas library is possible upon request.
Detailed description of available exercise areas collection is contained in a separate specification.

SHIP MODELS
SHIP – various purpose ships with 6-DoF. These are OWN SHIPS and are controlled from the bridge either with hands-on controls, or with a trackball from the conning display.
DP SHIP – 6-DoF ship models with Dynamic Positioning System (DPS). These are OWN SHIPS and are controlled from the bridge either with hands-on controls or with a trackball from the conning display and DPS NAVIS IVCS 2002 software at once.
TUG – tugs of various power and propulsion plant types with 6-DoF. These are OWN SHIPS and are controlled from the bridge by using either hands-on controls or the trackball from the conning display.
BARGE – non-self-propelled barges with 6-DoF. These can be used as TARGET SHIPS only (individually or within the groups), towed on the line or pushed in a rigid link.
SHIP TARGET – These are TARGET SHIPS which move automatically along the routes plotted in an exercise, or are controlled by the instructor. Two possible modes of target ships’ motion are available upon selection in the object properties dialog:
3-DoF (SIMPLE TARGET) mode. This mode is a default one. The ship is not affected by the wind, current or wave drift, and cannot be used for towing or mooring. This mode should be used in order to reduce the model calculations in the conditions where the precision of target’s motion is not important;
6-DoF mode. This mode should be assigned manually in the ship’s properties. The ship is affected by the wind, current and wave drift and can be used for towing and mooring. This mode is recommended for the conditions where the most precise target’s motion is required in order to achieve the training objectives.
TUG TARGET - tugs of various power and propulsion plant types with 6-DoF. These are TARGET TUGS and move automatically along the routes plotted in an exercise or are controlled by the instructor manually. They can automatically execute towing commands, are affected by the wind, current and wave drift.
Development of new ship models which are currently not included in the Transas library is possible upon request.
Detailed description of the available ship models collection is contained in a separate specification.
TRANSAS WORLDWIDE CHART COLLECTION TRANSAS Worldwide chart collection for Navi-Sailor 3000 ECDIS Stations.
