| Abstract: | This paper proposes a high-speed iterative procedure for estimating the ocean wave directional spectrum from vessel motion data. It uses as input data, the measurements from motion sensors that are commonly available on dynamically positioned vessels and which may easily be installed on any ship. Because the necessary sensors are relatively inexpensive or may already be installed, it becomes an ideal solution to provide initial estimates to offline estimation procedures and to give spectral updates under quickly changing weather conditions. The Kalman filtering algorithm, for iterative harmonic detection, and frequency domain vessel response data are used in the estimation procedure. The results and conclusions are still based on synthesized data, but very promising. |
