Abstract:
Disclosed is a system which uses one or more camera units with embedded processors to measure the relative translation and/or rotation between different members on an aerial device. Image data from each unit is processed and transmitted processing to the position control system of the aerial device, and used to determine the position of an aerial element of the device.
