Docking your boat, especially in tight quarters, is now easier than ever. The new Raymarine DockSense assisted docking system from FLIR Systems, Inc. uses object recognition, FLIR machine vision camera technology, GPS and motion sensors to help when docking. DockSense is the marine industry’s first intelligent object recognition and motion sensing assisted docking solution for recreational boating.
The system detects wind, tides, other vessels and objects, and uses corrective steering and throttle commands to escape mishaps, according to Raymarine. Prestige Yachts will be the first brand to demonstrate the technology.
