Abstract
A mobile work machine includes a frame and a ground engaging element movably supported by the frame and driven by an engine to drive movement of the mobile work machine. The mobile work machine also includes a container movably supported by the frame and an actuator configured to controllably drive movement of the container relative to the frame. The work machine also includes a control system configured to generate an actuator control signal, indicative of a commanded movement of the actuator, and provide the actuator control signal to the actuator to control the actuator to perform the commanded movement and an image sensor coupled to the mobile work machine, the image sensor being configured to capture an image of the container. The work machine also includes an angle determination system, communicatively coupled to the control system, configured to determine an angle of the container relative to the image sensor, based on the image of the container.
