Abstract
A work machine can include an image capturing device configured to capture an image of at least a portion of an environment adjacent to the work machine. The work machine can also include processing circuitry to receive the image from the image capturing device, generate an overlay that depicts a work area for the work machine, superimpose the overlay over the image to generate an enhanced image of the work area, and provide the enhanced image to a display device.
Claims20
A work machine comprising:
- an image capturing device configured to capture an image of at least a portion of an environment adjacent to the work machine;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- receive the image from the image capturing device;
- generate an overlay that depicts a work area for the work machine;
- superimpose the overlay over the image to generate an enhanced image of an area to be worked in the work area;
- and
- provide the enhanced image to a display device.

A method of remote control for a work machine, the method comprising:
- capturing an image of at least a portion of an environment adjacent to the work machine;
- generating an overlay that depicts a work area for the work machine;
- superimposing the overlay over the image to generate an enhanced image of
- an area to be worked in the work area;
- and
- controlling the work machine to perform work in the work area based on the overlay and a position of the work machine within the work area.
