  • Dual object localization and relative vectoring
    Patent number: 12762854
    Abstract: A method of determining an object-to-object vector. The method includes providing a camera on one of a first object having a first object docking member and a second object having a second object docking member. The camera captures a 2D image including the first object docking member and the second object docking member. A plurality of 2D image points are identified on the 2D image and matched to some of 3D features of the first object docking member and some of the 3D features of the second object docking member. Camera frame first and second object vectors are subtracted to determine a camera frame first object to second object vector.
