System and Method for Presenting Topographical Data for an Earthmoving Operation
First Claim
1. A method for presenting a visual image of a work site for an earthmoving operation, the method comprising the acts of:
- receiving target design data for the work site;
receiving a spatial location and orientation for an earthmoving machine operating in relation to the work site;
receiving a visual image of at least a portion of the work site from an imaging device mounted to the earthmoving machine; and
displaying the visual image of the portion of the work site with a subset of the design data overlaying the visual image, wherein the subset of the design data relates to a target design surface for the portion of the work site.

Abstract
System and method for presenting a visual image of a work site for an earthmoving machine. In one embodiment, target design data for the work site may be received. A spatial location and orientation for an earthmoving machine operating in relation to the work site may also be received. A visual image of at least a portion of the work site may be received from an imaging device mounted to the earthmoving machine. A visual image of the portion of the work site may be displayed with a subset of the design data overlaying the visual image, wherein the subset of the design data relates to the portion of the work site.

10. An operator interface for presenting a visual image of a work site for an earthmoving machine, the interface comprising:
-
a display; at least one input configured to receive target design data for the work site, a spatial location and orientation for an earthmoving machine operating in relation to the work site, and a visual image of at least a portion of the work site from an imaging device mounted to the earthmoving machine; and a processor coupled to the at least one input and the display, the processor configured to; output data received by the at least one input to the display such that a visual image of the portion of the work site is displayed, and a subset of the design data is displayed overlaying the visual image, wherein the subset of the design data relates to a target design surface for the portion of the work site. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
