MEASURING OF A LANDING PLATFORM OF A SHIP
First Claim
1. A system for predicting the movement of a surface for autonomous landing of unmanned aerial vehicles thereon, comprising:
- at least two beam emitters each being movable to measure along at least one line on the surface, wherein the lines measured by the two beam emitters are crossed so that they have at least one point of intersection in common;
a control module;
a detector configured to detect reflected beams,a processor configured to process measurements including estimating continuously a plane to the surface by measurements during a time interval; and
a storage module configured to store the processed measurements.

5. A method for predicting the movement of a surface for autonomous landing of unmanned aerial vehicles thereon, the method comprising:
-
emitting beams; directing the beams towards the surface; detecting reflected beams; and processing measurements including estimating continuously a plane to the surface by measurements during a time interval, emitting at least two beams; moving each of the at least two beams to measure along at least one line on the surface; storing the measurements; and estimating continuously during a time interval a plane to the surface in order to predict a favorable occasion to land thereon, wherein the lines measured are crossed to that they have at least one point of intersection in common. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
