Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for determining a cleanup pass profile is provided. The method may include identifying a pass target extending from a first end to a second end along a work surface, determining one or more volume constraints based at least partially on machine load limits and volume differentials between the pass target and the work surface, generating a plurality of primitives between the first end and the second end based on the volume constraints, and adjoining the primitives to form a substantially continuous cleanup pass profile.
