Abstract: A work machine has an under carriage coupled to traction elements and an upper house that is rotatably coupled to the under carriage. A plurality of image sensors mounted to the upper house capture overlapping images around portions of a periphery of the work machine. An image processing system combines the images from the image sensors to generate a combined image around the periphery of the work machine. A dynamic display generation system identifies a portion of the combined display to display to an operator based on a swing angle identifying an angle by which the upper house is rotated relative to the under carriage, and based on a direction of travel of the work machine.

Abstract: A digital panning system for a work machine with an articulating joint assembly includes the fore portion of the work machine, the rear portion of the work machine, a first image capturing device, a second image capturing device, a first display device, a second display device, and a controller. The controller has a processor with a digital mapping and filtering analyzer coupled to the devices wherein the processor is configured to receive a first and second set of display pixels; selectively digitally map and filter a first and second target region from the first and second set of display pixels to display on a first and second viewing frame. The first target region and second target region are selected in response to a received joint signal. The joint signal is indicative of the articulation angle of the fore portion relative to the rear portion at the joint assembly.

Abstract: A work machine includes an upper frame rotatably assembled with a lower frame via a rotary joint. A blade is assembled with the lower frame. A controller operably coupled with one of the upper or lower frames, or the blade, wherein the controller includes a memory having instructions stored therein that are executable by a processor to cause the processor to determine a reference frame translation module based on output provided by an angle sensor coupled to the upper frame or the lower frame, wherein the angle sensor is configured to measure a swing angle of the upper frame relative to the lower frame. The processor determines an exclusion zone based on the reference frame translation module and radius range of motion of the blade relative to the lower frame. An object detection system determines whether an object detected is interior or exterior to the exclusion zone.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for automatically changing an obstacle detection range setting of an obstacle detection system based at least in part on a determination of a change in work state of a self-propelled vehicle. The change in work state may be a change from a transport state in which the vehicle is moving across a ground surface, to a stationary operating state. Upon detecting a change to a stationary operating state the obstacle detection range may be automatically changed to a shorter range. Upon detecting a change to a transport state the obstacle detection range may be automatically changed to a longer range.

Abstract: A work cycle detection and control system includes an angle detector that detects an angular position of an implement, operably coupled to a mobile machine, relative to a base of the mobile machine. The system also includes a range detector that detects a degree range of rotation, about the base, in which the angular position of the implement is located. Work cycle logic identifies a particular work cycle, from a plurality of different work cycles, that the mobile machine is performing, based on the degree range. An action signal generator generates an action signal, based on the particular work cycle.

Abstract: A work vehicle including a touch screen display, a work implement movably coupled to a frame, and a control module having a processor and a memory wherein the processor is configured to execute stored program instructions to display a graphical user interface having selectable application icons on one or more overlays. One of the overlays covers a first portion of the display field and a second portion of the display field displays an application selected by one of the selectable application icons. Selection of a split screen icon displays a second overlay on a second portion of the display field.

Abstract: A machine output detection and control system includes machine metric logic that detects a plurality of quantity metrics, each quantity metric corresponding to sensor information associated with at least one mobile machine in a plurality of different mobile machines. The system also includes normalization logic that aggregates the plurality of different quantity metrics to generate, for each mobile machine, a normalized production unit that is normalized across the plurality of different mobile machines. Dependency logic correlates the normalized production unit, for each mobile machine, to a machine dependency that identifies an order in which the plurality of different mobile machines operate at a jobsite. Further, action signal logic generates an action signal, based on the correlation.
