Computer Image Processing Means for Determining the Hovercraft's Position in the Sea

In this work, a computerized system was developed to determine the position of a hovercraft relative to the coastline using data from drones and satellites. The goal is to effectively plot the ship's route through image analysis and processing using MATLAB tools. The results of the study demonstrate the high efficiency of the system in the processing of cartographic data. The theoretical novelty consists in combining image processing with navigational tasks. The practical significance lies in more accurate navigation of ships in coastal areas.
