Harbin: Chinese researchers at Harbin Engineering University have developed advanced panoramic vision equipment capable of conducting 360-degree marine monitoring, after 14 years of research and development. The equipment, facilitated by a high-resolution multi-mode panoramic vision system, completed the target identification task in an unmanned ship test project.

According to Qatar News Agency, in response to the urgent demands for real-time performance, high resolution, and low power consumption, the researchers designed a circular symmetric lens layout. The system uses the latest infrared imaging technology and locally made microprocessors, providing more accurate and stable thermal imaging, said Cai Chengtao, a professor at the college.

This equipment outperforms traditional vision systems, providing wide coverage with no blind spots, making it ideal for applications in smart ships, environmental monitoring, intelligent transportation, and automated driving in various weather conditions.
