Abstract
Described herein are systems, methods, and other techniques for determining a period during which an implement of a construction machine is interacting with a ground surface. A vibration signal that is indicative of a movement of the implement is captured. One or more features are extracted from the vibration signal. The one or more features are provided to a machine-learning model to generate a model output. An implement-on-ground (IOG) start time and an IOG end time are predicted based on the model output, the IOG start time and the IOG end time forming the period.
