Crane Payload Position Measurement Vision-Based System Dedicated for Anti-sway Solutions

摘要: Handling operation efficiency in cargo transportation realized by the cranes mainly depends on counteractions against undesirable phenomena’s such as payload swing, crane bridge deflections vertical plane and many others. Although experienced operators are an experts suppressing excessive sway, there is a strong need to develop robust anti-sway systems supporting their work. In this paper authors propose kind of absolute position measurement system with use image sensor for sway detection. The proposed technique based template matching method smartcam reliable vision sensor. described system, measures displacement markers attached hook. On shifts base measure from equilibrium actual rope length, swing can be estimated. All experiments tests presented were conducted scaled physical model overhead travelling hosting capability 150 kg.
