The aim of this research project was to develop a method to detect universal cargo units. This method defines the location and position of cargo units inside a container, so that an automatic unloading by a manipulator is possible. The core of the research project was the design and implementation of this method, which was tested with simulated and real sensor data. To find out the possibilities and limits of the applicability of the method for evaluating the automatic unloading process of cargo units, a realistic test setup was finally installed.
