Abstract
A truck-mountable detection system for detection of a first coupling device of a container, in which the first coupling device is configured for coupling with a second coupling device of a truck-mounted loading equipment, in particular a hook of a hookloader. The detection system includes a data processor and an data capturing device, the data of which can be sent to the data processor. The data capturing device is a stereographic sensor system, and the data processor is configured to automatically recognize the shape of the first coupling device of the container based on the data provided by the stereographic sensor system.
Claims27
A truck-mountable detection system for detection of a first coupling device of a container, the first coupling device being an eyelet or a hookbar, the eyelet or hookbar being provided on an outside of a wall of the container or on an edge or a boundary of the wall of the container, the first coupling device being configured for coupling with a second coupling device of a truck-mounted loading equipment, the detection system comprising a data processor and a data capturing device capturing data of which can be sent to the data processor, wherein the data capturing device is a stereographic sensor system configured to provide depth information, and the data processor is configured to automatically recognize a three-dimensional shape and a position of the first coupling device of the container based on the depth information provided by the stereographic sensor system.
