    摘要: The present disclosure relates to sensor technology, and provides a method, an apparatus, and a system for vibration measurement for a sensor bracket as well as a movable device. The method is applied in a system for vibration measurement for the sensor bracket. The system includes the sensor bracket to be measured that is mounted on a movable device, and a marker on the sensor bracket to be measured, and a first sensor provided on the sensor bracket to be measured for collecting marker information. The method includes: collecting the marker information of the marker on the sensor bracket to be measured using the first sensor; determining a vibration measurement reference point based on the marker information, and obtaining vibration condition data of the vibration measurement reference point; and determining a vibration evaluation result for the sensor bracket based on the vibration condition data of the vibration measurement reference point.

    摘要: An apparatus and a method are provided for determining the spatial position of pick-up elements of a container. A respective set of spatial coordinates of points is determined for a plurality of mutually different sensor positions by means of a moving sensor. The points lie in a spatial region that comprises a container. The respective sets of spatial coordinates are combined into a fused totality of coordinates by means of an evaluation unit. The evaluation unit determines a respective spatial position of the pick-up elements of the container based on the fused totality of the coordinates of the points.
