Abstract

See full text

Technologies and techniques for determining locations of a plurality of markers on a vehicle in three-dimensional space. The markers may be configured as optical or radio markers, where a sensor determines the locations of each of the plurality of markers, or a shape formed by the markers collectively. The locations of each of the plurality of markers or shape is then compared to a template to determine a match. The match identifies a vehicle having vehicle data that includes locations of vehicle components and/or vehicle performance characteristics. The vehicle data is then used to generate control signals for controlling a control device that may be associated with a robotic apparatus, a vehicle computer system and/or drone operating system.
