Abstract
An object detection system may include a first-type sensing device comprising a camera and defining a first field of view and configured to capture an image stream of an area adjacent to a work machine. The system may also include a second-type sensing device different from the first-type sensing device, defining a second field of view substantially overlapping with the first field of view, and configured to capture a data stream of the area adjacent to the work machine. The system may also include a controller configured to receive a first set of tracks relating to the image stream and including a first confidence level and receive a second set of tracks relating to the data stream and including a second confidence level. The controller may also be configured to combine establish an overall confidence level and determine whether to issue an alert, exercise a machine control, or both.
