Around View Monitoring System for Hydraulic Excavators
This addresses safety and efficiency issues for hydraulic excavator operators, but it is incremental as it applies existing AVM technology to a specific domain.
The paper tackled the problem of safety accidents and operational inefficiency in hydraulic excavators due to blind spots by developing an Around View Monitoring system, achieving a 7m visual range, 15fps image refresh rate, and 300ms data reception rates in experiments.
This paper describes the Around View Monitoring (AVM) system for hydraulic excavators that prevents the safety accidents caused by blind spots and increases the operational efficiency. To verify the developed system, experiments were conducted with its prototype. The experimental results demonstrate its applicability in the field with the following values: 7m of a visual range, 15fps of image refresh rate, 300ms of working information data reception rate, and 300ms of surface condition data reception rate.
