Can 3D Mapping Technologies Improve the Efficiency of Lines plan Construction for Stability Assessments for Marine Vessels?

眼海事顾问有限公司Marine）是一家位于NS贝德福德的咨询公司，专门从事海洋船舶设计、改装、修改、可行性研究、二维和三维绘图以及稳定性分析。他们为整个滨海地区和加拿大的许多行业的公司提供设计和建模服务，例如哈利法克斯地区市政府，NS和NB省以及BC渡轮。他们业务的一个主要组成部分是使用最近建造的船只（如渔船）的线路图，以完成加拿大交通部要求的稳定性分析。目前，血管是手工测量的，以获得完成所需分析所需的准确度。手工测量过程耗时，需要专门的技能和培训;此外，通常有一个很短的时间窗口，可以评估船只。此外，加拿大交通部最近修改了渔船法规，这意味着存在E.Y.E.的可能性。海军陆战队将完成比平时更多的稳定性评估。然而，由于手工生成的分析生产线计划的生产瓶颈，它们的评估能力有限。眼海事需要一种更快的方法来获得船舶的确切尺寸，以便更快地准备线路图，并避免需要稳定性评估的船舶积压。新斯科舍省社区学院（NSCC）应用地理信息学研究小组（AGRG）专门从事激光测量和3D测绘，并配备了与E.Y.E.合作的设备。Marine为线路规划确定快速、高分辨率（< 1 cm）和低成本的3D测绘解决方案。AGRG将调查各种3D测绘系统用于船舶调查的潜力，并确定最有效和最准确的过程来收集，操作和生成船舶的3D模型。这项研究将有助于E.Y.E.海洋推进他们进行稳定性分析的方式，加快大西洋海洋船厂的整个过程，并避免积压船只等待他们的评估。

E.Y.E. Marine Consultants Ltd. (E.Y.E. Marine) is a consulting firm in Bedford, NS, specializing in marine vessel designs, refits, modifications, feasibility studies, 2D and 3D drafting, and stability analysis. They provide their design and modeling services to companies in many sectors throughout the Maritimes and Canada, such as the Halifax Regional Municipality, the provinces of NS and NB, and BC Ferries. A major component of their business is using lines plans for recently constructed vessels, such as fishing boats, to complete stability analysis required by Transport Canada. Currently, the vessels are measured by hand to obtain the accuracy needed to complete the required analysis. The hand-measuring process is time consuming and requires specialized skills and training; furthermore, there is often a short time window in which the vessel is available to be assessed. Additionally, Transport Canada has recently modified fishing vessel regulations, meaning that the potential exists for E.Y.E. Marine to complete more stability assessments than normal. However, they are limited in their assessment capacity due to a bottleneck in the production of manually generated lines plans for the analysis. E.Y.E. Marine requires a faster method to obtain the vessel's exact dimensions in order to prepare lines plans quicker and avoid a backlog of vessels requiring the stability assessments. The Nova Scotia Community College's (NSCC) Applied Geomatics Research Group (AGRG) specializes in laser surveying and 3D mapping and are equipped to collaborate with E.Y.E. Marine to determine a fast, high resolution (< 1 cm), and low-cost 3D mapping solution for lines plans. AGRG will investigate the potential of various 3D mapping systems for vessel surveys and determine the most efficient and accurate process to collect, manipulate, and generate a 3D model of a vessel. This study will assist E.Y.E. Marine in advancing the way they conduct their stability analysis, expediting the entire process for Atlantic maritime boatyards, and avoiding a backlog of vessels waiting for their assessments.**
