System and Method for Mapping a Raised Contour

摘要

A system includes a position sensing system for determining a position of a machine and a work implement configured to engage material to form a raised contour. A controller determines a plurality of positions of the machine as the machine moves about the work site and the work implement forms the raised contour, determines a plurality of reference positions along an edge of the raised contour as the work implement forms the raised contour, and generates a map of the edge of the raised contour based upon the plurality of reference positions.

1. A system for use with a machine for generating a map of an edge of a raised contour at a work site, comprising:
a position sensing system associated with the machine for determining a position of the machine; a work implement associated with the machine and configured to engage material at the work site to form the raised contour; and a controller configured to:
determine a plurality of positions of the machine based upon the position sensing system as the machine moves about the work site and the work implement forms the raised contour;determine a plurality of reference positions along the edge of the raised contour based upon positions of the machine as the work implement forms the raised contour; andgenerate a map of the edge of the raised contour based upon the plurality of reference positions.
