==SYSTEM FOR IMAGE-BASED IDENTIFICATION OF THE POSITION OF A CARGO CONTAINER - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18522733 titled 'SYSTEM FOR IMAGE-BASED IDENTIFICATION OF THE POSITION OF A CARGO CONTAINER

==Simplified Explanation==
The system described in the patent application uses an electro-optical unit to capture images of a cargo container, providing distance information. An electronic evaluation unit then processes these images to determine the position of the container's edges and corners.

* The system uses an electro-optical unit to capture images of a cargo container.
* The images contain distance information.
* An electronic evaluation unit processes the images to determine the position of the container's edges and corners.
* The system provides a position signal based on the distance image and corner estimation.

==Potential Applications==
1. Automated cargo container tracking in logistics and shipping industries.
2. Improved safety and efficiency in container handling at ports and warehouses.
3. Enhanced security measures for monitoring container movements.

==Problems Solved==
1. Accurate identification of cargo container positions.
2. Streamlining container handling processes.
3. Enhancing security and surveillance of container movements.

==Benefits==
1. Increased efficiency in logistics operations.
2. Improved safety measures in container handling.
3. Enhanced security monitoring of cargo containers.

==Commercial Applications==
Automated Cargo Container Position Identification System for Logistics and Shipping Industries

==Questions about Cargo Container Position Identification System==
1. How does the system determine the position of the corners of the cargo container?
2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in real-world logistics operations?

==Frequently Updated Research==
Stay updated on advancements in electro-optical technology for cargo container tracking and surveillance.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A system for image-based identification of the position of a cargo container, a vehicle equipped therewith, and a corresponding method. The cargo container comprises edges and corners. The system comprises an electro-optical unit, which is or can be directed on the cargo container and is configured to provide an image signal which contains distance information, and an electronic evaluation unit, which is connected in a signal-transmitting manner to the electro-optical unit and is configured to generate, on the basis of the image signal, a distance image with respect to the spatial location of the edges of the cargo container and a two-dimensional estimation of the position of the corners of the cargo container within the image and to provide a position signal with respect to the spatial position of the corners of the cargo container on the basis of the distance image and the estimation.
