METHOD OF AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING PRESENCE OF RUTS ON CURRENT TERRAIN

摘要

Method and device for detecting presence of ruts are disclosed. The method includes using sensor data for generating a current terrain profile (i) representing a height variation of the surface of the current terrain along its width, and (ii) having a pair of current grooves potentially indicative of the presence of the ruts on the current terrain. The method also includes acquiring a sampled terrain profile (i) representing a height variation of a surface of a given terrain along its width, and (ii) having a pair of sampled grooves indicative of a presence of the ruts on the given terrain. The method includes using the current terrain profile and the sampled terrain profile for generating comparison data indicative of a similarity between the current terrain profile and the sampled terrain profile. The method includes using the comparison data for detecting the presence of the ruts on the current terrain.
