CAMERA-SENSOR FUSION MODULE FOR SURFACE DETECTION AND FLEET VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Abstract:

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods for surface detection and fleet vehicle control. A method for controlling operations for a plurality of fleet vehicles, the method includes receiving, by a fleet vehicle of the plurality of fleet vehicles using camera-sensor fusion module, first image data of an operational surface in a field of view of the camera-sensor fusion module and inertial data of the fleet vehicle, determining, by the fleet vehicle using a fusion algorithm based on a neural network model, a surface classification of the operational surface based on the first image data and the inertial data, determining an operational parameter for the fleet vehicle based, at least in part, on the surface classification, and controlling an operation of the fleet vehicle based, at least in part, on the operational parameter.
