Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for determining a range of potential distances between a work machine and an object. The system receives an image captured by a camera on the work machine and identifies an object in the image. The system determines an angle between the camera and the object, a height associated with the object, and an uncertainty associated with the height. Based on the angle, the height, and the uncertainty, the system determines a range of potential distances between the work machine and the object. The shortest distance in the range is compared to a threshold distance for safe operation of the work machine. When the shortest distance in the range is less than the threshold distance, the system causes the work machine to perform a safety action.

Abstract: A lane departure intention estimation device includes: an estimation section that estimates that a driver of a subject vehicle has no lane departure intention in a case where the driver is in a distracted state or a non-awake state; and a prediction section that uses a learned machine learning model to predict whether or not the driver has a lane departure intention based on a time-series signal and a first classification signal in a case where the driver is in neither the distracted state nor the non-awake state.
