Komvision - Komatsu's solution to improving operators field of view.
- 1. KOMATSU CRAWLER EXCAVATOR - KOMVISION Komatsu’s solution to ISO 5006:2017
- 2. ISO 5006:2017 2 • Previously, visibility and vision map testing was carried out only in one position: travel position (1). • ISO5006 requires full vision availability during all operations. Testing is now required in 3 positions: (1,2,3)
- 3. KomVision • Excavators will have 3 or 4 cameras factory fitted depending on the model of the machine. 3 1 2 3 4 Komatsu’s solution to improving operators field of view.
- 4. How is the “birds eye” view created? • The birds eye view is created by taking the individual signals from each camera and “stitching” them together to create a seamless overhead view of the machine. • The overlap areas of the cameras is enough to ensure a clean transfer from one camera to the next. 4 Single Camera area Overlapping Camera area
- 5. Why is KomVision not a 360 camera system? • For crawler and wheeled excavators the working area visibility directly in front of the operators cab is excellent – no need to be covered by an extra camera. • Incorporating the working area in front of the machine into KomVision would mean including the work equipment which is constantly moving during working – this could distract the operator. • The operator should be concentrating on his operation and the constant movement of the work equipment on the monitor can be distracting. • Also constant movement on the monitor panel can desensitise the operator from movement in more critical areas around the machine. 5 Work equipment: In View Out of View
- 6. Extra safety features • Camera image automatically changes to the default screen when any hydraulic controls are activated. • This is NOT a requirement of ISO 5006:2017. 6 Any control movement will activate the monitor default screen e.g. F6 to select options. If PPC or travel levers are activated the monitor will return to the default image. Default Screen Image: Bird’s eye view, rear view camera and gauges.
- 7. Default in cab screen 7 Birds eye view incorporates input from all cameras and creates a bird’s eye view. Default screen shows rear view camera image.
- 8. Operator selectable views: 8 Default screen, Images & gauges F4 to select a camera image (Birds eye view remains) Default screen, Images & gauges F3 for full screen image F3 to select full screen rear view camera F4 to select different camera image
