Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods for detecting collisions. One system includes a processor configured to receive data from at least one sensor installed on a shovel, identify a plurality of planes based on the data, determine if the plurality of planes are positioned in a predetermined configuration associated with a haul truck to identify whether the plurality of planes represent a haul truck. The processor is further configured to receive a current position and a current direction of movement of a dipper of the shovel, and determine if a collision is possible between the dipper and the identified haul truck based on the plurality of planes, the current position, and the current direction of movement and without receiving any information from the haul truck. If a collision is possible, the processor is configured to alert an operator of the shovel and, optionally, augment movement of the dipper.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system for detecting potential collisions between an industrial machine and an object located in proximity to the industrial machine, the system comprising: a processor configured to receive data from at least one sensor associated with the industrial machine, the data related to an area proximate the industrial machine, identify a plurality of planes based on the data, identify the plurality of planes as representing the object when the plurality of…
