Abstract: An image processing system is disclosed for a machine having a first section pivotally connected to a second section. The image processing system may include a plurality of cameras mounted on the first section and configured to capture image data of an environment around the machine. The image processing system may also include a sensor, a display, and a processing device. The processing device may obtain, from the sensor, information indicative of a rotation of the first section relative to the second section. Based on the information, the processing device may adjust the image data to account for the rotation of the first section relative to the second section. In addition, the processing device may use the adjusted image data to generate a top-view image of the environment around the machine. The processing device may also render the top-view image on the display.

Based on the information, the processing device may adjust the image data to account for the rotation of the first section relative to the second section. The processing device may use the adjusted image data to generate a surround-view image of the environment. The processing device may also render the surround-view image on the display.

Abstract: An obstacle detection system includes an object detection system, an alert system, and a controller. The controller is configured to store an electronic map containing a known obstacle, store known and unknown obstacle warning zones, and detect a detected object in proximity to the machine. The controller is further configured to compare the detected object to the known obstacle to determine whether the detected object is a known obstacle or an unknown obstacle, generate a first alert signal if the detected object is a known obstacle and within the known obstacle warning zone, and generate a second alert signal if the detected object is an unknown obstacle and within the unknown obstacle warning zone.

Abstract: Resistance feedback is provided to a machine operator via a joystick configured to steer the machine. An electrically actuated magnetic feedback brake unit is associated with the joystick for selectively resisting movement of the joystick. Haptic feedback is provided by determining a machine speed at which the machine is travelling, mapping the determined machine speed to a corresponding joystick resistance value, and mapping the corresponding joystick resistance value to an actuation current. The electrically actuated magnetic feedback brake unit is then actuated at a current substantially exceeding the actuation current until a predetermined level of actuation is reached. Once the predetermined level of actuation is reached, the electrically actuated magnetic feedback brake unit is driven at the actuation current.
