Abstract:
A method receiving image information with one or more processor(s) and from a sensor disposed at a worksite and determining an identity of a work tool disposed at the worksite based at least partly on the image information. The method further includes receiving location information with the one or more processor(s), the location information indicating a first location of the sensor at the worksite. Additionally, the method includes determining a second location of the work tool at the worksite based at least partly on the location information. In some instances, the method includes generating a worksite map with the one or more processor(s), the worksite map identifying the work tool and indicating the second location of the work tool at the worksite, and at least one of providing the worksite map to an additional processor and causing the worksite map to be rendered via a display.
