Movement control system

摘要

The present invention relates to a movement control system which can be used to control moving platforms such as vehicles or robotic arms. It especially applies to a driving aid for vehicles and to a parking aid capable of self-parking a vehicle. A three-dimensional camera ( 12 ) is located on the platform, say a car ( 102 ) and arranged to view ( 114 ) the environment around the platform. A processor ( 7 ) uses the three-dimensional information to create a model of the environment which is used to generate a movement control signal. Preferably the platform moves relative to the environment and acquires a plurality of images of the environment from different positions.
