Abstract

The article presents the structure of a measuring complex that allows high-precision measurements of the position of objects relative to a stationary base using computer vision methods based on optical meters data. The principle of operation of the measuring complex is described. The procedure for using and the features of adjusting the elements is determined. The operation of the measuring complex is illustrated by an example from the maritime transport industry i.e. by the solution of the problem of monitoring the position of an autonomous marine large-tonnage vessel relative to the berth when performing loading and unloading operations and mooring operations. Methods of using the measuring complex in road, air and rail transport are also described.
