The invention discloses an intelligent detection
system for a distribution profile and a position of a container. The intelligent detection
system comprises a central
control system, a three-dimensional
laser scanning module, a target profile
processing module and an ARMG (Automated Rail Mounted
Gantry Crane) movement controller. Meanwhile, the invention discloses a method for detecting the distribution profile and the position of the container by using the intelligent detection
system. The method is high in detection speed and high in detection precision by adopting three-dimensional space
laser scanning, and overcomes the basic defect of conventional
laser single-point scanning or
line scanning. A generated container locating
position error signal is output to the ARMG movement controller to automatically control movement mechanisms such as a lifting appliance, a trolley and a
cart of an ARMG, and thus the accurate control on stacking and grabbing the container by the ARMG is realized; the generated container locating
position error signal can be also output to a central
monitoring system of an intelligent
wharf for remotely monitoring the process of loading or unloading the container by the ARMG. According to the intelligent detection system and method, the accurate container alignment and the container collision in the process of loading or unloading the container are realized, the efficiency of loading or unloading the container is improved, and the accident of collision caused during the loading or the unloading of the container is reduced.
