Abstract
A wake detection system for a marine vessel comprises a stereovision system and a control system. The stereovision system includes at least two cameras and is configured to image a water surface behind the marine vessel. The control system is configured to receive image data from the stereovision system, including at least one image of the water surface behind the marine vessel, identify at least one wave on the water surface in the at least one image, then determine at least one dimension of the at least one wave. The control system is further configured to then determine whether the at least one dimension of the at least one wave is exceeds a pre-wake threshold, and then generate a wake mitigation action.
