Reliable monitoring of vessel motions is crucial for safe and efficient operation of marine vessels. Pitching and rolling motions are commonly monitored using high-grade inertial measurement units (IMUs). However, such sensors become unreliable in presence of long-lasting accelerations. In this work, we propose a method for attitude estimation of marine vessels relying on an image stream and known...
