Abstract
The present invention provides an auxiliary berthing method and system for a vessel. In the berthing method, by a solar blind ultraviolet imaging method, a position and an attitude of a vessel relative to a shoreline of a port berth during berthing are calculated by at least two solar blind ultraviolet imaging modules according to light signals received by a solar blind ultraviolet light source array arranged in advance on the shore. Further, when more than three solar blind ultraviolet imaging modules are used, in the method and device of the present invention, a normalized correlation algorithm and a data fusion algorithm are used to improve the accuracy of the position and attitude data of the vessel.
