Abstract

See full text

A method for detecting objects in a warehouse and/or for spatial orientation in a warehouse includes:

    acquiring image data with a 3-D camera which is fastened to an industrial truck so that a viewing direction of the 3-D camera has a defined horizontal angle, wherein the 3-D camera has an image sensor with sensor elements arranged matrix-like and the image data comprises a plurality of pixels, wherein distance information is assigned to each pixel,calculating angle information for a plurality of image elements, which each specify an angle between a surface represented by the image element and a vertical reference plane,determining a predominant direction based on the frequency of the calculated angle information,calculating the positions of the of the acquired pixels along the predominant direction,detecting at least one main plane of the warehouse based on a frequency distribution of the calculated positions.
