Abstract

A work vehicle comprising a pair of forks and an optical sensor. The optical sensor is configured to capture image data that includes the pair of forks and a moveable object. An electronic processor is configured to perform an operation by controllably adjusting the pair of forks, receive image data captured by the optical sensor, apply an artificial neural network to identify whether the pair of forks are aligned for moving the moveable object based on the image data, wherein the artificial neural network is trained to receive the image data as input and to produce as the output an indication of whether the pair of forks are aligned for moving the moveable object, access operation information corresponding to whether the pair of forks are aligned for moving the moveable object from a non-transitory computer-readable memory, and automatically adjust an operation of the work vehicle based on the operation information.
