Abstract
A plurality of detection points is identified from a collection of subterranean scan data collected using a sensor on a mobile work machine. A predicted utility segment is generated based on a pattern reflected from the plurality of detection points. The predicted utility segment is incorporated into a subterranean feature model. A component of the mobile work machine is controlled, using the subterranean feature model, to perform an operation.
Claims20
A method of controlling a mobile work machine on a worksite to perform an operation, the method comprising:
- identifying a plurality of detection points from a collection of subterranean scan data collected using a sensor on the mobile work machine;
- generating a predicted utility segment based at least in part on a pattern reflected in the plurality of detection points;
- incorporating the predicted utility segment into a subterranean feature model;
- and
- controlling a component of the mobile work machine, using the subterranean feature model, to perform the operation.
A computing system for a mobile work machine, the computing system comprising:
- a detection point identification component that provides a plurality of detection points collected during a subterranean scan conducted by an operator of the mobile work machine while operating the mobile work machine;
- a segment prediction component that processes the plurality of detection points and generates a predicted segment based on a comparison of a depth at which detection points in the plurality of detection points is determined to be located;
- an output generation component that creates a subterranean feature model incorporating the predicted segment;
- and
- a control system that controls the mobile work machine, using the subterranean feature model, to perform an operation.
A mobile work machine, comprising:
- a ground penetrating radar sensor that moves across a ground surface while performing a subterranean scan;
- a detection point identification component that identifies a plurality of detection points from the subterranean scan;
- a segment prediction component that creates a predicted segment based on a pattern identified in depth and location of detection points in the plurality of detection points;
- and
- a control system that controls the mobile work machine, using the predicted segment, to perform an operation.
