An integrated sensor system employing high-precision ultrasound                 range finding instruments combined with a charged-couple device (CCD)           video processor can be used to determine the precise position and               motion of container ships being loaded at a pier.  Processing will be           carried out by a twelve state Kalman filter which relies on feedback            from the loading crane's automatic control processor for good a priori          state vector estimates and for high-order corrections.  The system              will be self-monitoring, providing a reliable estimate of the errors            in its own predictions, and detecting unpredicted motions quickly, for          operator alert and correction.  The primary anticipated benefit of              this research is to demonstrate the feasibility of fully automating             the loading of container cargo onto ships at pierside.
