Abstract
A method of adjusting a speed of a mobile machine is provided. Image data of a location is collected where currently generated sensor data and previously generated sensor data indicate a discontinuity in sensor data. The image data is analyzed to determine if a non-motion blur score for the image data is above a threshold value. Then, a speed of the mobile machine is adjusted based on a determination that the non-motion blur score is above the threshold value.
Claims20
A method of adjusting a speed of a mobile machine, the method comprising:
- collecting image data of a location where currently generated sensor data and previously generated sensor data indicate a discontinuity in sensor data;
- analyzing the image data to determine if a non-motion blur score for the image data is above a threshold value;
- and
- adjusting, by a machine controller, a speed of the mobile machine based on a determination that the non-motion blur score is above the threshold value.

A mobile machine comprising:
- a propulsion system;
- a steering system;
- a sensor system for collecting data regarding an operating environment of the mobile machine;
- and
- a machine controller coupled to the propulsion system, the steering system, and the sensor system;
- wherein the machine controller collects image data of a location where currently generated sensor data and previously generated sensor data indicate a discontinuity in sensor data;
- analyzes the image data to determine if a non-motion blur score for the image data is above a threshold value;
- and adjusts a speed of the mobile machine based on a determination that the non-motion blur score is above the threshold value.
