Abstract
A system for mitigating navigation sensor errors using a vision system on a marine vessel is provided, the system comprising: a navigation sensor; a camera configured to be mounted to the marine vessel with an associated field of view of an environment; and a processor configured to: identify, based on image data from the camera, an object in the environment that is predicted to impact reliability of a signal from the navigation sensor of the marine vessel, wherein the object is associated with a location in the environment of the marine vessel; determine that the object is in a position to interfere with the navigation sensor based on the location associated with the object; and determine a navigation parameter of the marine vessel with a reduced reliance on signals from the navigation sensor based on the determination that the object is in a position to interfere.
