20150254910 | METHOD OF SAILBOAT PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS ON RACE MAPS USING TACKING DISTANCES AND REAL-TIME WIND MAPS - On sailboats of any size, it is now possible to have advanced navigation using ordinary mobile devices. By sharing one's wind data and receiving data from other internet-enabled anemometers, micro-weather maps can be used to assess tacking routes, even through multiple wind zones. Crowd-sourced real-time wind maps are better than generic weather forecasts. GPS data can also be easily shared without special equipment, for performance analysis or viewing race standings in real time or replays. Methods are disclosed for polar plot learning to determine optimal tacks. The performance of other boats can also be assessed based on boat speed, GPS location, heading, wind speed and wind direction, with no polar plots needed. Rather than advantage lines or VMG, a method is disclosed for calculating tacking distances to display a novel indicator of projected Completion Time and standings for boats on a race map. | 09-10-2015 |

20080246759 | Automatic Scene Modeling for the 3D Camera and 3D Video - Single-camera image processing methods are disclosed for 3D navigation within ordinary moving video. Along with color and brightness, XYZ coordinates can be defined for every pixel. The resulting geometric models can be used to obtain measurements from digital images, as an alternative to on-site surveying and equipment such as laser range-finders. Motion parallax is used to separate foreground objects from the background. This provides a convenient method for placing video elements within different backgrounds, for product placement, and for merging video elements with computer-aided design (CAD) models and point clouds from other sources. If home users can save video fly-throughs or specific 3D elements from video, this method provides an opportunity for proactive, branded media sharing. When this image processing is used with a videoconferencing camera, the user's movements can automatically control the viewpoint, creating 3D hologram effects on ordinary televisions and computer screens. | 10-09-2008 |
20090287409 | NAVIGATIONAL PLANNING AND DISPLAY METHOD FOR THE SAILOR'S DILEMMA WHEN HEADING UPWIND - A method is disclosed that resolves a long-standing seafaring problem of how close to the wind to sail. Sailboats need a convenient way to determine the optimal heading to minimize the Tacking Time to Destination (TTD). Unlike Velocity Made Good (VMG), the method disclosed here allows route planning before the trip, predicts travel time on different points of sail, allows comparison of the optimal tacking routes, and also plots the different routes so that it is inherently obvious that a particular tacking angle is longer and more off-course but will arrive sooner because of the speed on that heading. These principles can be implemented with manual dials that define the distance and speed, to calculate the relative or actual travel time on a leg without using electronics. Software is also described that visually illustrates the current and optimal headings by calculating Tacking Time to Destination before departure. | 11-19-2009 |
