Abstract

An obstacle detection system includes a controller configured to receive a first signal from a first sensor assembly indicative of presence of an obstacle within a field of view of the first sensor assembly. The controller is configured to receive a second signal from a second sensor assembly indicative of a position of the obstacle within a field of view of the second sensor assembly in response to presence of a movable object coupled to the work vehicle within the field of view of the first sensor assembly. The controller is configured to determine presence of the obstacle within the field of view of the first sensor assembly based on the position of the obstacle, and the controller is configured to output a third signal indicative of detection of the obstacle in response to presence of the obstacle within the field of view of the first sensor assembly.
