System And Method Of Material Handling Using One Imaging Device On The Receiving Vehicle To Control The Material Distribution Into The Storage Portion Of The Receiving Vehicle

A method for facilitating the transfer of material from a transferring vehicle having a material distribution end to a receiving vehicle having a bin to the store transferred material, the method comprising the steps of:

• a. identifying and locating the bin;
• b. detecting a representation of the fill level or volumetric distribution of the material in the bin;
• c. aligning the material distribution end over a current target area of the bin requiring the material;
• d. determining subsequent target areas of the bin that require material based on the representation of the fill level or volumetric distribution of the material in the bin and a desired fill pattern to fill the bin;
• e. transferring the material from the transferring vehicle to the current target area of the bin of the receiving vehicle;
• f. detecting when the current target area of the bin is filled with the material;
• and
• g. repeating steps c-f until the subsequent target areas of the bin are filled per the desired fill pattern.
