Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus for detecting an object falling from a vessel ( 1 ), comprising: a plurality of sensor nodes ( 100 ) arranged to be installed around a periphery of the vessel ( 1 ), each of the plurality of sensor nodes being provided with a Radar sensor ( 200 ) and a video sensor ( 300 ); and a control system ( 400 ), arranged to receive signals from the plurality of sensor nodes and to determine if the received signals indicate a possible Man Overboard MOB event.

Claim (Index 3):
The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the plurality of sensor nodes ( 100 ) are arranged to be positioned about a periphery of the vessel ( 1 ) such that at least some of the plurality of sensor nodes are arranged to cover a volume of space ( 10 ) defined by a relatively small distance from a surface of the vessel and an arc, located substantially parallel with the surface of the vessel, wherein the arc substantially extends in an upwards direction such that each of the plurality of sensor nodes is thereby arranged to be sensitive to objects falling towards it.
