For automated quayside container cranes, accurate measurement of the three-dimensional positioning and attitude of the container spreader is crucial for the safe and efficient transfer of containers. This paper proposes a high-precision measurement method for the spreader’s three-dimensional position and rotational angles based on a single vertically mounted fixed-focus visual camera. Firstly, an image preproce...
In the process of automatic container terminal loading and unloading, the threedimensional attitude of the container affects the security of loading and unloading operations, so the three-dimensional attitude positioning of the container is very important. In this paper, a visual non-contact measurement method is used to realize the real-time orientation of the threedimensional attitude of the container. First,...
