PhotoShipCD Service

Who need it?


Port Engineers and Crew - facilitate communications
example: 1) When the crew calls the port engineer to describe a problem, they can all get a better picture of what is going on if they actually have a picture they can look at while they talk. 2) Officers can give crewmen work assignments without having to visit the worksite to explain what needs to be done.

Engineering Planners and Designers - supplement the as-built drawings
example: 1) Engineering planners can use it to plan how and where they can perform upcoming work or install new equipment or systems and perhaps travel less. 2) In the interest of fleet similitude, designers can use it to see how installations were made on other vessels in their fleet.

Draftsmen and Photogrammetrists - source for 3-D CAD and photogrammetry
example: PhotoShipCD is a much cheaper alternative to developing 3-D CAD of existing equipment and it is possible to develop dimensionally accurate 3-D CAD of the pictured equipment if needed. (a value added option) PhotoModeler, by EOS, is one of a few photogrammetry apps that lets you create 3D drawings from objects in pictures. Of course, you need two pictures from two positions of the object and a known dimension of something in the image.

Customers, Owners, Agents and Brokers - trade show demos and vessel literature
example: 1) Customers and buyers will be thrilled to receive more than the standard specification sheet and survey report when making chartering and purchasing decisions. 2) It can be used as a kiosk at trade shows. 3) Previously, you would need a Hollywood movie budget to give a presentation this impressive.

Project Managers and Sales People - presentation and clip picture source
example: Program managers can use it as a clip picture source for presentations, reports and bid packages.

Claims Workers and Forensic Scientists - A picture is worth a thousand words.
example: Forensic scientists will find it a blessing to have a date stamped "before" picture that can be explored interactively.

Instructors - a versatile visual aid
example: 1) Shipboard personnel can view areas of the ship that are difficult or impossible to access, such as tanks, during normal operations. 2) Operator's office personnel can familiarize themselves with the fleet so they can better relate to their fleet's problems. 3) Safety instructors can use the application as a visual aid. 4) It can also serve as the one place for a user to go to access any of the ship's training applications. 5) Serves as a great visual aid when training equipment installers.
