System and Method for Terrain Mapping

摘要

A mapping system includes a pose sensor, a mapping sensor, a database defining a work surface, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive pose signals and determine the position and the orientation of the machine and receive mapping signals and determine a plurality of raw data points. The controller further determines a plurality of machine points defining a position of a portion of the machine and filters the plurality of raw data points based upon the plurality of machine points to define a plurality of filtered data points. The database may be updated with the plurality of filtered data points.

1. A system mounted on a machine for mapping a work surface, comprising:
a pose sensor associated with the machine for generating pose signals indicative of a position and an orientation of the machine; a mapping sensor on the machine for generating a plurality of raw data points defining a mapped surface; a database including a plurality of points defining the work surface; and a controller configured to:
receive pose signals from the pose sensor;determine the position and the orientation of the machine based upon the pose signals;receive mapping signals from the mapping sensor;determine the plurality of raw data points based upon the mapping signals;determine a plurality of machine points defining a position of a portion of the machine based upon the pose signals;filter the plurality of raw data points based upon the plurality of machine points to define a plurality of filtered data points; andupdate the database based upon the plurality of filtered data points.
