20120173185 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EVALUATING RANGE SENSOR CALIBRATION DATA - In one embodiment, a method for evaluating calibration data collected by a range sensor of a mobile machine on a site includes collecting a calibration data set using the range sensor. The calibration data set includes information indicating the locations of a plurality of points on a surface of the site relative to the range sensor. The method further includes determining an expected error score of the calibration data set. Finally, the method includes determining whether to use the calibration data set to calibrate the range sensor based on the expected error score. | 07-05-2012 |
20130265189 | Systems and Methods for Determining a Radar Device Coverage Region - A system for determining a coverage region of a radar device is disclosed. The system may have one or more processors and a memory. The memory may store instructions that, when executed, enable the one or more processors to receive radar data generated by a radar device and lidar data generated by a lidar device. The radar data may include radar data points representing objects detected by the radar device and the lidar data may include lidar data points representing objects detected by the lidar device. The one or more processors may be further enabled to determine a radar coverage region for the radar device by comparing one or more radar data points to one or more lidar data points, and to generate data used to display a graphical representation of the radar coverage region. | 10-10-2013 |
20130307978 | Personnel Classification and Response System - A personnel classification and response system, and related method and computer program product are disclosed. The system may comprise an image capture member and a controller connected to the image capture member. Some embodiments may also comprise a ranging apparatus. The ranging apparatus may be configured to provide a distance from a person to a vehicle. The image capture member may be configured to provide an image of the vicinity of the vehicle, the image including the person. The controller may be configured to identify in the image a marker and to activate a warning apparatus based on the marker and a zone in which the marker is disposed. | 11-21-2013 |
20140203959 | OBJECT RECOGNITION SYSTEM HAVING RADAR AND CAMERA INPUT - A object recognition system has a camera configured to generate image data of an environment of a machine and a radar device configured to generate radar data of the environment of the machine. The object recognition system also has a processor configured to detect an object in the environment based on the radar data, map the radar data to a portion of the image data corresponding to the detected object, and classify the detected object using the mapped portion of the image data. | 07-24-2014 |
20140204215 | IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM USING UNIFIED IMAGES - An image processing system has a plurality of cameras and a display that are mounted on a machine. The plurality of cameras are configured to generate image data for an environment of the machine. The image processing system also has a processor connected to the plurality of cameras and the display. The processor is configured to access the image data from the plurality of cameras, access parameters associated with the plurality of cameras, generate a unified image by combining the image data from the plurality of cameras based at least in part on the parameters, access state data associated with the machine, select a portion of the unified image based at least in part on the state data, and render the portion of the unified image on the display. | 07-24-2014 |
20140205139 | OBJECT RECOGNITION SYSTEM IMPLEMENTING IMAGE DATA TRANSFORMATION - A object recognition system has a camera configured to generate source image data and a processor configured to access the source image data from the camera. The processor is also configured to accesses state data of the camera and generate transformed image data from the source image data based at least in part on the state data. The processor is also configured to detect an object in the transformed image data and to classify the detected object using the transformed image data. | 07-24-2014 |
