    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 method for clustering the data point groups of one or more measurement targets located in the same region from among the acquired data point groups. This method is provided with: acquiring a data point group in a region that contains a measurement target from above the measurement target by using a laser scanner; clustering the data point groups that correspond to the top surface of the measurement target as a planar cluster by using a data processing unit; extracting a reference planar cluster which is a reference for making a same-region determination; calculating the difference in height between the reference planar cluster and other planar clusters, and searching for planar clusters exhibiting a height difference within a prescribed threshold; selecting one planar cluster exhibiting a height difference within the prescribed threshold; detecting whether there is overlap between the reference planar cluster and the one planar cluster; and clustering the planar clusters as clusters in the same region when overlap is detected.

    摘要: To accurately obtain the shapes of a hoisting load and an object located near the hoisting load, and the height of the ground surface, and present an accurate warning display when the hoisting load approaches the object. 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.

    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 a measurement target and is obtained using a laser scanner. This top-surface estimation method for hoisting loads and objects is provided with: a data point group acquisition step in which a laser scanner acquires data point groups in a hoisting load region which includes a hoisting load and an object from above the hoisting load and the object; a group allocation step in which a data processing unit divides the hoisting load region into layers which constitute a plurality of groups which have a prescribed thickness in the vertical direction, and allocates the acquired data point groups to the plurality of layer groups; and a top-surface estimation step in which the data processing unit estimates the top surfaces of the hoisting load and the object in each layer group on the basis of the data point groups allocated to the plurality of layer groups.
