    摘要: To estimate the top surface of a measurement target on the basis of a data point group that corresponds to the top surface of the measurement target and is obtained using a laser scanner. A data processing unit: selects two data points from the data point group which is contained within the thickness in the vertical direction of a hoisting load region, and calculates the distance between the selected two data points; determines the two data points are located in the same plane and calculates the gravitational center for each point determined to be in the same plane when the distance between the two points is equal to or less than a threshold; searches for a nearby point which is a data point for which the distance from the gravitational centers is equal to or less than the threshold, determines the nearby point is also in the same plane when the nearby point is discovered, and repeatedly performs the process in order each time a nearby point is discovered; obtains multiple data points determined to be in the same plane; and estimates plane clusters representing the top surfaces of a hoisting load and an object on the basis of the multiple data points.

    摘要: Provided is a guide display device that prevents misidentification of the same feature as a plurality of different features or the ground surface even if an occlusion area occurs. A guide display device for a crane includes: a laser scanner that scans a suspended load and a ground surface from above the suspended load; and a data processing unit that calculates a representative point for each grid using the point cloud data acquired by the laser scanner, creates a three-dimensional map based on the representative points, and updates the three-dimensional map if the newly calculated representative point differs from the existing representative point. When an occlusion area, which is a shadow of the suspended load, occurs in the three-dimensional map, the occlusion area is not updated even if the newly calculated representative point and the existing representative point are different.

    摘要: Provided is a guide display device with which incorrect recognition of a place having small features as a ground surface having no features can be suppressed in generating and updating a three-dimensional map. A data processing unit (70): detects an edge (Eg) of a feature (E) on the basis of a result of subjecting image data captured by a camera (61) to image processing, and recognizes the feature (E) on the basis of the edge (Eg); and accumulates, from a predetermined number of frames from before the time at which the image data was captured, point group data (P) of a nearby range (Ma) of the edge (Eg) of the feature (E) that was recognized as a ground surface (F), and generates, on the basis of the accumulated point group data (P), a three-dimensional map (M) of the feature (E) the edge (Eg) of which has been recognized.

A guide information display device is equipped with a data processing unit which: estimates the top surface of a hoisting load, the ground surface, and the top surface of the object, on the basis of a data point group obtained by a laser scanner; generates guide frames representing guide frames that surround the top surface of the hoisting load and the top surface of the object, and also generates height information and height information which represent the elevation of the hoisting load and the object; calculates the distance between the hoisting load and the object on the basis of the estimated top surfaces of the hoisting load and object; and outputs a warning display when the distance is equal to or less than a threshold. The guide information display device is also equipped with a data display unit for displaying guide information obtained by overlapping an image captured by a camera with the guide frames, the height information and the height information, and the warning display which were generated by the data processing unit.
