Description: A warehouse shuttle system is an automated mobile cart that conveys items in a pallet racking within a warehouse. The shuttle replaces the needs for humans to retrieve or store goods in a warehouse environment manually. These shuttles travel on a racking structure for this purpose. Reliable and safe localization solutions are needed for the optimal operation of the warehouse shuttle system. The dependable localization of the shuttles will make it possible to integrate hot-maintenance services. Therefore, it is desired to incorporate a camera sensor that would serve as a redundant localization solution. This task will use a camera-based sensor to acquire video streams that capture a marker, and the marker will be used to calibrate and map the location of the shuttle in motion. It is aimed to realize a localization service based on the camera sensor.
