  • Container crane control system comprising multiple cameras
    Patent number: 10696525
    Abstract: A container crane control system includes: a first camera configured to be mounted to a container crane such that the first camera is rotatable only along a substantially vertical axis, implementing a tilt function of the first camera, the first camera being configured to provide a first video signal; a control device configured to tilt the first camera based on a current height of a load of the crane, to thereby track the load; and an operator terminal, being configured to receive the first video signal, for presentation to an operator and being configured to receive user input for controlling the crane, resulting in a crane control signal for provision to the control device. The control device may further be configured to receive the crane control signal from the operator terminal and to provide a corresponding control signal to control crane operation.
