Configuration of a lidar sensor scan area according to a cycle segment of an operation of a machine

A device, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
• determine, based on operating parameters of a machine, a cycle segment of an operation of the machine;
• determine, based on the cycle segment, a scan area within a field of view of a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor associated with the machine,
• wherein the scan area has an increased point density relative to another area of the field of view;
• cause the LIDAR sensor to capture, with the increased point density, LIDAR data associated with the scan area;
• process the LIDAR data to determine, using the increased point density and an object detection model, a status associated with the operation;
• and
• perform an action associated with indicating the status associated with the operation.

A system comprising:

• a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• receive cycle segment information identifying a cycle segment of an operation of a machine;
• determine, based on the cycle segment information, a scan area within a field of view of the LIDAR sensor;
• cause the LIDAR sensor to capture, with an increased point density relative to a non-scan area within the field of view, LIDAR data associated with the scan area;
• process the LIDAR data to determine, using the increased point density, a status associated with the operation;
• and
• perform an action associated with indicating the status associated with the operation.
