The augmented reality system that combines real and virtual environments has been researched and developed in the United States and Japan since the late 1990s. Augmented reality, a concept that complements the real world with the virtual world, uses a virtual environment made of computer graphics, but the main role is the real environment. Computer graphics play a role in providing additional information necessary for the real environment.

For example, it is possible to provide more intuitive information by superimposing and outputting the navigation assistance information on the external image viewed by the navigator. The navigation support system using augmented reality technology needs to register the real time information and the virtual information. Since the position of the time information varies depending on the position and direction of the ship, the position of the ship can be accurately determined using GPS. And the direction of travel.

Therefore, the terrain information, the buoy information, the island, and the like are matched with the external topographical image data of the external topography in front of the ship according to the position of the ship, thereby generating topographical information and other ship information. The external topographical image data is preferably composed of 3D data so that the navigator can easily see the actual navigation information. In other words, it is preferable that the external terrain database construction on the external terrain be constructed of 3D data.
