Abstract:
It is provided a method for loading a container (21) on a landing target (59) on a land vehicle (23) using a container crane (51) comprising a trolley (53) and a spreader (55) for holding and lifting the container. The method is performed in a container crane control system (1) and comprises the steps of: obtaining (40) two- dimensional images of the landing target from a first pair of cameras arranged on the spreader; performing (42) feature extraction based on the two-dimensional images to identify key features of the landing target; generating (44) a point cloud based on the feature extraction, wherein each point in the point cloud contains co-ordinates in three dimensions; and controlling (46) movement of the container to the landing target based on the point cloud and the identified key features of the landing target.
Abstract:
It is provided a method for supporting remote control of a container crane, the container crane being configured to move containers from one location to another. The method is performed in a container crane control system, and comprises the steps of: receiving work order information, each work order specifying a location of a container to be picked up and a destination of the container to be placed; obtaining a first video stream of images of a pick-up location; identifying the container to be picked up in the images of the first video stream; modifying the first video stream images, which comprises highlighting the container to be picked up; and presenting the modified video stream of images on a display.
