Abstract
Pattern recognition under the outdoor environment is very difficult in general because of the change in the brightness distribution of the object based on the change in the lighting condition. Combining distributed sensing with expanded template matching, the technique for achieving effective pattern recognition under the outdoor environment was developed. We applied it to the detection of a relative position of a spreader of a quayside gantry crane and the target container, made a prototype machine, and named Crane Vision. This paper details Crane Vision’s measurement principle, system configuration, experimental results, and demonstrates the validity of pattern recognition under the outdoor environment.
