Abstract

A composite panoramic vision system utilized onboard a work vehicle includes a display device, a vehicle-mounted camera array, and a controller. The vehicle-mounted camera array includes, in turn, first and second vehicle cameras having partially overlapping fields of view and positioned to capture first and second camera feeds, respectively, of the work vehicle's exterior environment from different first vantage points. During operation of the composite panoramic vision system, the controller receives the first and second camera feeds from the first and second cameras, respectively; generates a composite panoramic image of the work vehicle's exterior environment from at least the first and second camera feeds; and then presents the composite panoramic image on the display device for viewing by an operator of the work vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure is directed to embodiments of a work vehicle vision system that generates a synthetic panoramic image of a work vehicle's surroundings from multiple camera feeds captured by an onboard camera array. Background technique [0002] Work vehicles used in construction, agriculture, forestry, mining and other industries often operate in challenging work environments. Operators often need to drive these work vehicles carefully while performing a variety of tasks and avoiding surrounding structures, adjacent work vehicles, and other obstacles. Considering that work vehicles can be large and complex machines, in many situations, including moving boom-mounted tools or other end effectors, operators need to have a relatively high level of skill to control the work Various functions of the vehicle. Also, the positioning of the work vehicle's chassis, buckets, or other end effectors relative to the cab and other visual obstructions may limi...
