An autonomous probing system includes a computer, a probe assembly, a PLC, and an optical sensor. The optical sensor captures image data of a probing environment. The probe assembly includes a moveable probe portion and a sensor. The probe portion is moveable between a first and second position. The sensor has a first sensor value that is indicative of the first position. The computer receives image data from the optical sensor and detects a vehicle positioned within the probing environment. The computer then determines one or more target areas within the vehicle and an X coordinate position and a Y coordinate position of one or more probe target points within each of the target areas. Based on the first sensor value and the X and Y coordinate positions, the computer determines a second sensor value, which is indicative of the second position and transmits the value to the PLC.
An autonomous particulate probing system, comprising:
1515 The autonomous particulate probing system of claim 1, wherein the computer executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processing element, cause the processing element to perform an image processing procedure to determine the one or more target areas for probing, the image processing procedure comprising using a plurality of machine learning vision algorithms to identify the one or more target areas and to identify and classify walls of a trailer of the vehicle, tarp supports extending between trailer walls, a ground surface, and particulate contained in the trailer.
A method of operating an autonomous particulate probing system, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computer, cause the processor to:
