摘要： A collision sensor assembly is attachable to a stationary structure such as a pallet rack, a door frame, the corner of a wall, or the like. The collision sensor is configured to sense when a collision occurs with the stationary structure such as when a piece of movable machinery contacts the stationary structure. The collision sensor assembly includes a sensor operatively connected to a processor which determines when a collision occurs, and produces a signal to an output signal generator to provide an external indication of the collision.

摘要： An object classification system (10) for an automated vehicle includes a lidar (22) and/or a camera (24), and a controller (40). The controller (40) determines a lidar-outline (42) and/or a camera-outline (68) of an object (18). Using the lidar (22), the controller (40) determines a transparency-characteristic (50) of the object (18) based on instances of spot-distances (26) from within the lidar-outline (42) of the object (18) that correspond to a backdrop-distance (48). Using the camera (24), the controller (40) determines a transparency-characteristic (50) of the object (18) based on instances of pixel-color (66) within the camera-outline (68) that correspond to a backdrop-color (72). The transparency-characteristic (50) may also be determined based on a combination of information from the lidar (22) and the camera (24). The controller (40) operates the host-vehicle (12) to avoid the object (18) when the transparency-characteristic (50) is less than a transparency-threshold (52).

摘要： Apparatus and associated methods relate to calculating position and/or range data of object(s) in a scene external to an aircraft. A light projector (34) is configured to project, from an aircraft projector location, a collimated beam of light in a controllable direction onto the scene. The light projector (34) is further configured to control the intensity of the projected light, based on the controlled direction of the collimated beam of light. The reflected beam is detected by a camera (36, 38) located apart from the light projector (34). An image processor (44) is configured to use triangulation, to calculate position values and/or range data of the object(s) in the scene. The image processor (44) can be further configured to identify the object(s) in the scene and to produce, based in object(s) in the scene, one or more maps of the scene. The intensity of the collimated beam can be controlled based on the produced maps.
