Vehicle localization in open-pit mining using GPS and monocular camera

摘要: Described herein is a method and system for vehicle localization in an open pit mining environment having intermittent or incomplete GPS coverage. The comprises receivers associated with the vehicles providing measurements when available, as well one more cameras 50,55 overlooking mine region 10. are at known location used generating sequence of images field view predetermined calibration fixed coordinate system. further recognition processor 120 analysing individual from camera to identify locate within image region, tracking 130 track identified images. A data fusion 160 coupled receive measurements, receivers, fuse received measurement corresponding location, output 125.
