Positioning system having a master-slave configuration
First Claim
1. A positioning system for generating pose information of a machine, the positioning system comprising:
- a primary positioning controller configured to generate primary pose information of the machine,the primary pose information reflecting an overall pose of an entirety of the machine;
a plurality of local positioning controllers associated with different portions of the machine and coupled to the primary positioning controller,each of the local positioning controllers being configured to;
generate local pose information for a different portion of the machine corresponding to the local positioning controller,the local pose information reflecting a local pose of the different portion of the machine corresponding to the local positioning controller, andupdate the local pose information based on the primary pose information; and
a plurality of sensors configured to obtain images of surrounding of the machine,wherein the images of the surroundings of the machine are stitched, based on the updated local pose information of each local positioning controllers of the plurality of local positioning controllers, to form a surround view image of the surroundings of the machine.

Abstract
A positioning system for generating pose information of a machine includes a primary positioning controller and a plurality of local positioning controllers coupled to the primary positioning controller. The primary positioning controller is configured to generate primary pose information of the machine. The primary pose information reflects an overall pose of the machine. Each of the local positioning controllers is configured to generate local pose information based on at least the primary pose information. The local pose information reflects a local pose of a portion of the machine corresponding to the local positioning controller.
