However,thevesselmotionsare captured by the CCD camera which isattachedonthecelling。 Theimagedataobtainedbycameraistransferred to host onshore computer, and vessel motions are calculatedbyusingvectorcodecorrelation technique in realtime6~7)。Thenthecalculated position and heading angle are sent to a real time controlsystemCompactRioplacedonthe vessel。

illustrates when the hard disturbance condition is considered,thegoodperformance of ship cannot bemaintained。Inthiscase,theship is continuouslyoscillatedfor long time。 In contract to the non-activated control given in Fig。 5, good control performancecanbepreservedfromnormal to hard disturbance condition in the caseofPID control as shown in Fig。 6。 Thewinchessystem change the tension of mooring linestomakethe bargeshipreturntoinitialpositionafteraffection ofenvironmentalloads。Thecomparisonbetween the commanded tension and actual tension of each mooring line isshowninFig。7。Withcontrolling the winch by pulling and releasing each line, the tension of mooring line can follow the commanded tension made from controller。 In the PID case, the smootherchangeofcommandedtensionis shown。
