Abstract

A method for loading a container on a landing target on a land vehicle using a container crane including a trolley and a spreader for holding and lifting the container. The method is performed in a container crane control system and includes the steps of: obtaining two-dimensional images of the landing target from a first pair of cameras arranged on the spreader; performing feature extraction based on the two-dimensional images to identify key features of the landing target; generating a point cloud based on the feature extraction, wherein each point in the point cloud contains coordinates in three dimensions; and controlling movement of the container to the landing target based on the point cloud and the identified key features of the landing target.
