Abstract
A machine localization system includes a work machine including a chassis and an extendable implement, a first pressure sensor coupled to the work machine, a second pressure sensor located at a known elevation, and a computing system operably coupled to the work machine, the first pressure sensor, and the second pressure sensor. The computing system is configured to receive a first pressure reading from the first pressure sensor and a second pressure reading from the second pressure sensor, determine an elevation of the work machine based on at least the first pressure reading and the second pressure reading, determine a maximum operating height of the extendable implement based on at least the determined elevation, and configure the extendable implement to not exceed the maximum operating height.
