Abstract (en)

The system comprises image capturing means (6), integrated into the bridge crane and focusing on a surface of reference, and data processing means (12), responsible for receiving and analysing the images acquired by the image capturing means (6), in order to recognise, using a character extraction process, relevant characteristics in the image, and determine the relative displacement of said relevant characteristics between successive images, and therefore, the positioning of the bridge crane. It enables an accurate calculation of the distance covered by the bridge crane.
