Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method performed in a forklift truck, for determining a load position in a load rack. The forklift truck includes optical detection means movable with a load carrier. The method includes the steps of determining a reference position related to the optical detection means of a first land mark located on a first height of the load rack based on the position of the first landmark in a first image captured by the optical detection means; determining a second position related to the optical detection means of a second land mark located on a second height of the load rack based on the position of the second landmark in a second image captured by the optical detection means at a predetermined height; and determining a load position on the second height based on a comparison between the reference position and the second position.
