Abstract
A method of controlling a mobile work machine on a worksite including receiving an indication of an object detected on the worksite, determining a location of the object relative to the mobile work machine, receiving an image of the worksite, correlating the determined location of the object to a portion of the image, and generating a control signal that controls a display device to display a representation of the image with a visual object indicator that represents the detected object on the portion of the image.
Claims20
A method of controlling a mobile work machine on a worksite, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication of an object detected on the worksite;
- determining a location of the object relative to the mobile work machine;
- receiving an image of the worksite;
- correlating the determined location of the object to a portion of the image;
- and
- generating a control signal that controls a display device to display a representation of the image with a visual object indicator that represents the detected object on the portion of the image.
A mobile work machine comprising:
- an object detection sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of an object detected on a worksite;
- object location determination logic configured to determine a location of the object relative to the mobile work machine;
- image correlation logic configured to receive an image of the worksite and correlate the determined location of the object to a portion of the image;
- control signal generator logic configured to generate a control signal that controls a display device to display a representation of the image with a visual object indicator that represents the detected object on the portion of the image.
A method of controlling a mobile work machine on a worksite, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication of an object detected on the worksite;
- determining a location of the object relative to the mobile work machine;
- receiving an image of the worksite;
- correlating the determined location of the object to a portion of the image;
- determining a projected path of the mobile work machine;
- and
- generating a control signal that controls a display device to display a representation of the image with a visual object indicator that represents the detected object on the portion of the image and a visual path indicator indicative of the projected path.
