  • Patent number: 10249060
    Abstract: A tool erosion detecting system for a machine having a ground engaging tool is disclosed. The tool erosion detecting system may include a camera configured to generate a first image of the ground engaging tool on a display device, an input device configured to receive a user input, and a controller in communication with the camera and the input device. The controller may be configured to generate an augmented reality view of the ground engaging tool. The augmented reality view may include the first image of the ground engaging tool generated by the camera and a second image of a ground engaging tool superimposed on the first image and being associated with a selected wear level, wherein the selected wear level is based on the user input.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180150931
    Abstract: A computing device has a CPU and a digital camera configured to capture a digital image of a portion of a machine and send the digital image to the CPU for processing. An interactive display of the computing device renders the digital image. An augmented reality processing module detects a target point located on the machine and appearing within the digital image, generates an augmented reality image including information relevant to the portion of the machine included in the digital image, determines a position and orientation of the augmented reality image relative to the target point, and overlays the augmented reality image on the digital image relative to the target point in a relationship based on the determined position and orientation.
