Title: Vehicle positioning and object avoidance
Inventor: Scott Xavier Houle
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2017-01-09
Abstract: A system for presenting information relating to the lifting and moving a load object with a vehicle, such as a forklift 11. The system utilizes a measuring device, or dimentioner 910, to determine the size and shape of the load object 12 and compute a spatial representation of the object. The system then generates a first video signal 918 of this representation. As the vehicle moves an imager 920, which uses camera 925, 926, at the front of the vehicle generates a second video signal 928 of the scene in front of the vehicle 999. At least one element 925 of the imaging system moves vertically relative to the lifting. A display 930 renders a real time representation of the scene based on the first signal with a representation of the computed special representation from the first signal 918 superimposed upon it, representing the load object. This representation can be semi-transparent, for example a wireframe structure, to allow the driver to see obstructions 27 on the other side of the load object 12. The system can further incorporate a means of detecting obstacles and reacting automatically by braking or taking evasive action.
