SHIP ICE THICKNESS GAUGE Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC G01B11/06 

FIELD: measuring devices.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to measuring devices, and in particular to methods and devices for remote measurement of the size of objects, including moving ones. The ship's ice thickness gauge contains an image module placed in the body, which forms a digital image of an object, an image processing controller with an interface module, while the identification and localization of measurement objects is carried out in the video image stream received from the image module by comparing the obtained images with a database of ice forms recorded in the memory module connected to the controller, the controller is connected to the distance to the object and the angle of inclination of the optical axis of the image module, taking into account the spatial position of the image module relative to the measured object, the controller is also connected to temperature and relative humidity sensors that measure the temperature of the air inside the case and the outside air and the relative humidity of the outside air with the ability to control heating the protective glass of the meter body in order to exclude its icing.

EFFECT: improving the accuracy of ice thickness measurements.
