One system includes an image sensor for capturing an image of an area adjacent to the mining machine and a proximity sensing and control system. The proximity sensing and control system obtains the image; identifies an object in the image, the object including at least one of a person and piece of equipment; calculates a distance between the identified object and at least one of the image sensor and the mining machine using at least one image processing algorithm; and automatically controls the mining machine based on the distance.1/7 /1L 0
