Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to the operation of autonomous machinery for performing various tasks at various industrial work sites, and more particularly to the volumetric estimation and dimensional estimation of a pile of material or other object, and the use of multiple sensors for the volumetric estimation and dimensional estimation of a pile of material or other object at such work sites. An application and a framework is disclosed for volumetric estimation and dimensional estimation of a pile of material or other object using at least one sensor, preferably a plurality of sensors, on an autonomous machine (e.g., robotic machines or autonomous vehicles) in various work-site environments applicable to various industries such as, construction, mining, manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, sorting, packaging, agriculture, etc.
