Machine with a perception sensor system that includes multiple sets of one or more sensors

A controller of a machine, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
• identify a field of view of a first set of one or more sensors of a perception sensor system of the machine;
• cause an implement and a linkage of the machine to move across a range of positions;
• determine, for each position of the range of positions, whether the implement and the linkage obstruct the field of view;
• identify a set of one or more positions, of the range of positions, that are associated with the implement and the linkage not obstructing the field of view;
• and
• identify a first perception zone of the perception sensor system as being associated with the set of one or more positions.

A method, comprising:

• identifying, by a controller of a machine, that an implement and a linkage of the machine are in a first position;
• determining, by the controller and based on identifying that the implement and the linkage are in the first position, that the implement and the linkage are not blocking a first perception zone that is associated with a first set of one or more sensors of a perception sensor system of the machine;
• and
• causing, by the controller and based on determining that the implement and the linkage are not blocking the first perception zone, first perception data captured by the first set of one or more sensors to be used in association with an automatic control operation.
