A hitch point where a receiving vehicle is coupled to a following vehicle is located relative to a leading vehicle. The trajectory or route of the following vehicle is detected and a dynamic model estimates a location of a receiving area in the receiving vehicle relative to the leading vehicle based on the trajectory or route of the following vehicle and the location of the hitch point relative to the leading vehicle.

A cross member on a receiving vehicle which is coupled to a following vehicle, is located relative to a leading vehicle. The location of the cross member is tracked during an unloading operation so the leading vehicle avoids the cross member when unloading material into the receiving vehicle.

A camera calibration tool for calibrating one or more cameras of a mobile machine comprising calibration targets and a net. Each of the calibration targets comprises identifiable indicia. The net is adapted to be coupled to the mobile machine. The net has one or more configurations that define predetermined target locations, with location markers, in a predetermined layout. The calibration targets are positioned respectively at the predetermined target locations in the predetermined layout to calibrate the one or more cameras by use of the calibration targets.
