Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3418244A1] Method for loading a container on a landing target (59) on a land vehicle using a container crane comprising a trolley (53) and a spreader (55) for holding and lifting the container. The method is performed in a container crane control system (1) and comprises the steps of: obtaining (40) two-dimensional images of the landing target from a first pair of cameras arranged on the spreader; performing (42) feature extraction based on the two-dimensional images to identify key features of the landing target; generating (44) a point cloud based on the feature extraction, wherein each point in the point cloud contains co-ordinates in three dimensions; and controlling (46) movement of the container to the landing target based on the point cloud and the identified key features of the landing target.
