DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a radar device 1 that has a signal processing unit 10 that serves as the signal processing device according to the present invention will be described with reference to drawings.



FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the radar device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The radar device 1 according to the embodiment is a radar for a ship, for example, and is used for searching for object targets, mainly other ships. In addition, the radar device 1 is configured to be able to track a ship selected as an object target to be tracked. Note that a ship equipped with the radar device 1 is referred to as “the host ship”.


As illustrated in FIG. 1, the radar device 1 includes an antenna unit 2, the signal processing unit 10, and a display 6.


The antenna unit 2 includes an antenna 3, a receiving unit 4, and an A/D conversion unit 5.


The antenna 3 is a radar antenna capable of sending pulse-form electric waves (transmitted waves) with high directivity. Also, the antenna 3 is configured to receive reflected waves from an object target. The radar device 1 measures a time from transmission of the pulse-form electric waves until reception of the reflected waves. In this manner, the radar device 1 can detect the distance to the object target. The antenna 3 is configured to be rotatable by 360° on a level surface. The antenna 3 is configured to transmit and receive electric waves at respective times while changing a wave transmitting direction of the pulse-form electric waves (specifically, while changing an antenna angle). With the aforementioned configuration, the radar device 1 can search for an object target in a plane in the surroundings of the host ship over 360°.


Note that an operation after transmission of the pulse-form electric waves until the next transmission of the pulse-form electric waves will be referred to as “sweeping” in the following description. Also, an operation of causing the antenna to rotate by 360° while transmitting and receiving electric waves will be referred to as “scanning”.


The receiving unit 4 detects and amplifies an echo signal obtained from the reflected waves received by the antenna 3. The receiving unit 4 outputs the amplified echo signal to the A/D conversion unit 5. The A/D conversion unit 5 samples the echo signal in an analog format and converts the signal into digital data of a plurality of bits. The digital data is echo data. The echo data includes data that specifies an intensity of the echo signal obtained from the reflected waves received by the antenna 3. The A/D conversion unit 5 outputs the echo data to the signal processing unit 10.


(Configuration of Signal Processing Unit)

The signal processing unit 10 has a radar image generation unit 11, a target echo extraction unit 12, a tracking processing unit 13, a maximum reachable distance calculation unit 14, a target size estimation unit 15 (static information estimation unit), a maximum veering angle calculation unit 16, an other ship reachable range calculation unit 17, and a host ship reachable range calculation unit 18.


The signal processing unit 10 is formed of devices such as a hardware processor 7 (for example, a CPU, an FPGA, or the like) and a nonvolatile memory. It is possible to cause the signal processing unit 10 to function as the radar image generation unit 11, the target echo extraction unit 12, the tracking processing unit 13, and the like by the CPU reading and executing programs from the nonvolatile memory, for example.


The radar image generation unit 11 generates a radar image of 360° around the location of the host ship in the horizontal direction on the basis of the echo data output from the A/D conversion unit 5.


The target echo extraction unit 12 extracts an echo image attributable to a target (specifically, a ship). Specifically, the target echo extraction unit 12 groups sample points, which are distant from each other by distances that are less than a predetermined distance, from among sample points with an echo intensity that is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value as echoes from the same target in one example. Then, the target echo extraction unit 12 detects an echo image formed of the plurality of grouped sample points as an echo image from the same target.


The tracking processing unit 13 is configured to perform tracking processing of tracking the echo image of the target extracted by the target echo extraction unit 12. Specifically, the tracking processing unit 13 calculates coordinates of the target and a predicted velocity vector on the basis of a velocity vector presumed from the coordinates of the target at a time of scanning in the past. The tracking processing unit 13 outputs the calculated coordinates of the target and the predicted velocity vector to the display 6.


The maximum reachable distance calculation unit 14 calculates a maximum reachable distance that is a maximum distance which the ship can travel in a preset time (hereinafter, referred to as a set time t1) on the basis of the predicted velocity vector calculated by the tracking processing unit 13. The maximum reachable distance is calculated on the basis of a speed that the ship can reach by accelerating in the set time t1 in one example. A notification of the maximum reachable distance is provided to the other ship reachable range calculation unit 17.


The target size estimation unit 15 estimates the size of the target (static information) extracted by the target echo extraction unit 12. Specifically, the target size estimation unit 15 estimates the size of the target on the basis of the two-dimensional size of the echo image of the target, the echo intensity of the target, and the like.


The maximum veering angle calculation unit 16 calculates a maximum veering angle ϕn (n=1, 2, . . . ) that is an angle that can be turned in the set time t1 on the basis of a maximum veering rate that is assumed from the size of the target estimated by the target size estimation unit 15. Note that n is a natural number and is a number applied to each corresponding target.



FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically illustrating an echo image En of a target Tn as a target to be tracked and a reachable range Zn that is a range that the target Tn can reach in the set time t1.


The other ship reachable range calculation unit 17 calculates the reachable range of another ship Zn as illustrated in FIG. 2. The reachable range of another ship Zn is a range with a fan shape surrounded by a first line segment L1n, a second line segment L2n, and an arc Arcn. The first line segment L1n is a line segment that starts from a representative point of the echo image En of the target Tn and extends by a length dn in a direction inclined in a starboard direction by the maximum veering angle ϕn relative to the bow direction (single dotted-dashed line in FIG. 2) of the target Tn. The second line segment L2n is a line segment that starts from a representative point of the echo image En of the target Tn and extends by the length dn in a direction inclined in the bow direction of the target Tn by the maximum veering angle ϕn relative to a port direction. The first line segment L1n and the second line segment L2n have the same length dn. The length dn is set to be a length in accordance with the maximum reachable distance. The arc Arcn is an arc around a representative point of the echo image En of the target Tn and is an arc that connects the tip end of the first line segment L1n and the second line segment L2n. An angle θn between the first line segment L1n and the second line segment L2n is an angle range (angle range in which travel is possible) in which the target can travel in the set time t1.


Note that although the first line segment L1n and the second line segment L2n extend in the directions inclined by the angle ϕn on the starboard side and on the port side with reference to the bow direction in the embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto. Specifically, the ship traveling direction may be calculated on the basis of the turning angular velocity of the ship, and the angle θn may be decided with reference to the traveling direction in one example. The turning angular velocity of the ship can be obtained by using an automatic identification system (AIS), for example.


The other ship reachable range calculation unit 17 calculates the reachable range of another ship Zn of each of all targets Tn as targets to be tracked. A notification of the other ship reachable range Zn of each target Tn calculated by the other ship reachable range calculation unit 17 is provided to the display 6.


The host ship reachable range calculation unit 18 calculates a reachable range of a host ship Zs that is a range that the host ship S can reach in the set time t1. The host ship reachable range calculation unit 18 calculates the reachable range of the host ship Zs on the basis of the size of the host ship (the width and the length of the host ship, for example) input by the user in advance, the speed of the host speed obtained from a ship speedometer (omitted in the drawing) of the host ship, the bow direction of the host ship, and the like. The reachable range of the host ship Zs calculated by the host ship reachable range calculation unit 18 is a range with a fan shape that is similar to that of the reachable range of another ship Zn illustrated in FIG. 2.



FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen P displayed on the display 6 illustrated in FIG. 1. The host ship S, the reachable range of the host ship Zs, echo images E1 to E4 of targets T1 to T4 extracted by the target echo extraction unit 12, and reachable ranges of other ships Z1 to Z4 calculated to correspond to the respective targets T1 to T4 are displayed on the display 6. In FIG. 3, an example in which the four targets T1 to T4 have been detected is illustrated. In addition, wakes of the respective targets T1 to T4 (only the wake RT3 of the target T3 and the wake RT4 of the target T4 are illustrated in FIG. 3) are displayed on the display 6.


In addition, the reachable range of the host ship Zs is represented by dark hatching while the reachable ranges of other ships Z1 to Z4 are represented by light hatching in FIG. 3. However, different colors are actually applied to the reachable range of the host ship Zs and the reachable ranges of other ships Z1 to Z4 on the display 6. The reachable range of the host ship Zs is represented with a light blue color while the reachable ranges of other ships Z1 to Z4 are represented with an orange color in one example.


Incidentally, a maximum veering rate of the ship typically differs depending on the static information of the ship, specifically, the size and the like of the ship. For example, it is difficult for a ship with a large size to suddenly change direction, and the maximum veering rate is relatively low. Meanwhile, a ship with a small size has a higher maximum veering rate than a ship with a larger size. Therefore, an angle range in which a large ship can travel is relatively small while an angle range in which a small ship can travel is larger than the angle range in which a large ship can travel in general.


In this regard, the radar device 1 according to the embodiment calculates angle ranges θ1 to θ4 in which the respective targets T1 to T4 can travel on the basis of static information of the targets T1 to T4 (the sizes of the ships in the case of the embodiment) and calculates an angle range θs in which the host ship S can travel on the basis of the size of the host ship S. In this manner, it is possible to more accurately calculate the ranges that the host ship and other ships can reach after the prescribed time interval.


Advantages

As described above, the signal processing unit 10 in the radar device 1 according to the embodiment calculates the reachable ranges Zs and Z1 to Z4 of the ships on the basis of the static information of the ships (the sizes of the ships in the case of the embodiment). In this manner, it is possible to accurately calculate the reachable ranges Zs and Z1 to Z4 of the ships as compared with a case in which the reachable ranges are calculated on the basis of only dynamic information (the speeds and the like of the ships) of the ships, for example.


Therefore, according to the signal processing unit 10, it is possible to accurately calculate a location range that a ship can reach within a prescribed time interval.


In addition, in the signal processing unit 10, the sizes of other ships are estimated on the basis of reflected waves that are transmitted waves from the antenna 3 reflected by and returning from other ships, and the reachable ranges Z1 to Z4 of the ships are estimated on the basis of the sizes of other ships. In this manner, it is possible to estimate the sizes of other ships on the basis of information obtained by the radar device mounted on the ship and to thereby estimate the sizes of other ships without using a special device.


In addition, the reachable range Zs of the host ship S is calculated on the basis of the size of the host ship S input by the user according to the signal processing unit 10. In this manner, since it is only necessary for the user to input the size of the ship, the size of which is known, it is possible to more accurately calculate the reachable range Zs of the ship on the basis of more accurate information of the size of the ship.


In addition, the signal processing unit 10 calculates the reachable ranges Zs and Z1 to Z4 of the ships on the basis of the maximum veering angle ϕn of the ships calculated on the basis of the sizes of the ships. Since the maximum veering angle ϕn of the ships depends on the sizes of the ships, it is possible to appropriately calculate the maximum veering angle ϕn of the ships by calculating the maximum veering angle ϕn of the ship on the basis of the sizes of the ships.


In addition, the reachable ranges Zs and Z1 to Z4 are calculated by using the sizes of the ships as static information of the ships according to the signal processing unit 10. Since the reachable ranges Zs and Z1 to Z4 of the ships depend on the sizes of the ships, it is possible to accurately calculate the reachable ranges Zs and Z1 to Z4 by calculating the reachable ranges Zs and Z1 to Z4 on the basis of the sizes of the ships.


In addition, the signal processing unit 10 also calculates the reachable ranges Zs and Z1 to Z4 on the basis of the speed and the like of the host ship, which are dynamic information of the ship. In this manner, it is possible to more accurately calculate the reachable ranges Zs and Z1 to Z4.


In addition, according to the radar device 1 of the embodiment, the reachable ranges Zs and Z1 to Z4 of the ships are displayed on the display 6. In this manner, it is possible to provide the radar device 1 with which the user can easily recognize the reachable ranges Zs and Z1 to Z4.


Modification Examples

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.


(1) FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a radar device 1a according to a modification example. Although the size of the target (another ship) is estimated by the target size estimation unit 15 in the aforementioned embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto. In the modification example, the size of the target can be obtained through an AIS.


A signal processing unit 10a (signal processing device) of the radar device 1a according to the modification example has a configuration in which the target size estimation unit 15 is omitted from the radar device 1 according to the aforementioned embodiment. In addition, the radar device 1a includes an AIS antenna 8. Also, a maximum veering angle calculation unit 16a of the signal processing unit 10a according to the modification example operates in a slightly different manner from operations of the maximum veering angle calculation unit 16 according to the aforementioned embodiment.


The AIS antenna 8 is an antenna for receiving AIS information. The AIS antenna 8 receives information (for example, the size and the like of another ship) related to another ship located in the surroundings of the host ship.


The maximum veering angle calculation unit 16a is different from the maximum veering angle calculation unit 16 according to the aforementioned embodiment in the following point. Specifically, the maximum veering angle calculation unit 16a calculates the maximum veering angle ϕn of another ship on the basis of the information (specifically, the length of another ship and the width of another ship) related to the size of another ship obtained through the AIS antenna 8.


It is possible to obtain accurate information related to the size of another ship by using the AIS as described above, thereby obtaining accurate information related to the size of another ship, and thus to accurately calculate reachable ranges Z1 to Z4 of other ships in the modification example.


Note that although the modification example has been described on the basis of the example in which the maximum veering angle calculation unit 16a calculates the maximum veering angle ϕn of another ship on the basis of the size of another ship in the modification example, the present invention is not limited thereto. Specifically, the maximum veering angle ϕn of another ship may be calculated on the basis of the type of another ship obtained through the AIS antenna 8 in one example.


(2) FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a radar device 1b according to a modification example. Although the aforementioned embodiment has been described above on the basis of the example of the radar device 1 mounted on the ship, the present invention is not limited thereto. Specifically, the radar device 1b according to the modification example is placed on the shore such as in a maritime area.


A signal processing unit 10b (signal processing device) of the radar device 1b according to the modification example has a configuration in which the host ship reachable range calculation unit 18 is omitted from the signal processing unit 10 according to the aforementioned embodiment. In addition, the signal processing unit 10b according to the modification example has a configuration in which a ship reachable range calculation unit 17a is provided instead of the other ship reachable range calculation unit 17 according to the aforementioned embodiment.


The radar device 1b calculates the reachable range Zn of each ship that travels in a marine area near the maritime area in which the radar device 1b is placed in accordance with the size of each ship. That is, the radar device 1b is provided as a monitoring radar that monitors ships that travel near the maritime area. Note that since a configuration and operations of the ship reachable range calculation unit 17a are the same as those of the other ship reachable range calculation unit 17 other than that a target of calculation of the reachable range Zn is ships that travel in a marine area near the maritime area in which the radar device 1b is placed, the description thereof will be omitted.


According to the signal processing unit 10b of the radar device 1b in the modification example, it is possible to accurately calculate the reachable range similarly to the case of the aforementioned embodiment as described above. Further, according to the signal processing unit 10b, it is possible to provide a signal processing unit that has an appropriate configuration as a signal processing unit in a monitoring radar installed on the shore.


(3) FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a radar device 1c according to a modification example. A signal processing unit 10c (signal processing device) of the radar device 1c according to the modification example has a collision risk range deciding unit 19 in addition to the respective components that the signal processing unit 10 of the radar device 1 according to the aforementioned embodiment has.


The collision risk range deciding unit 19 decides a collision risk range Zd that is an area with a high probability that the host ship will collide with another ship, on the basis of the reachable range of the host ship Zs calculated by the host ship reachable range calculation unit 18 and the reachable range of another ship Zn calculated by the other ship reachable range calculation unit 17. Specifically, the collision risk range deciding unit 19 decides a range in which the reachable range of the host ship Zs and the reachable range of another ship Zn overlap each other as the collision risk range Zd. A notification of the collision risk range Zd decided by the collision risk range deciding unit 19 is provided to the display 6.



FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen P displayed on the display 6 illustrated in FIG. 6. The host ship S, the reachable range of the host ship Zs, echo images E1 to E4 of other ships (that is, targets T1 to T4), and reachable ranges of other ships Z1 to Z4 calculated to correspond to the respective targets T1 to T4 are displayed on the display 6 similarly to the display 6 in the radar device 1 according to the aforementioned embodiment.


In addition, the collision risk range Zd is displayed with a color (for example, red) that is different from those of the reachable range of the host ship Zs and the reachable ranges of other ships Z1 to Z4 in the modification example. In this manner, it is possible to appropriately display an area with a high risk that the host ship collides against another ship as the collision risk range Zd. Note that the color of the collision risk range Zd that is different from the colors of the reachable range of the host ship Zs and the reachable range of other ships Z1 to Z4 is represented by applying, to the collision risk range Zd, dotted hatching with a different density from that of the reachable ranges Zs and Z1 to Z4 in FIG. 7.


As described above, the part at which the reachable ranges of the two ships overlap each other is decided as the collision risk range Zd by the signal processing unit 10c in the radar device 1c according to the modification example. In this manner, it is possible to appropriately decide a range with a high probability that the two ships collide against each other.


(4) Although the aforementioned embodiment has been described on the basis of the example in which the reachable range of the host ship Zs and the reachable range of another ship Zn are constantly displayed irrespective of a location relationship with another ship or the shore, the present invention is not limited thereto. Specifically, the reachable range of the ship may not be displayed in a case in which another ship or the shore is not present within a predetermined range on the side of the traveling direction of the ship in one example.


In a case in which another ship or the shore is not determined within the predetermined range on the side of the traveling direction of the ship, the necessity of displaying the reachable range of the ship on the display 6 is low since the probability that the ship collides against another ship or the shore is low. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the display screen displayed on the display 6 from becoming complicated by not displaying such a reachable range.


(5) Although the maximum veering angle of the ship is calculated on the basis of only either the size or the type of the ship in the aforementioned embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the maximum veering angle of the ship may be calculated on the basis of both the size and the type of the ship.
