    Abstract: Self-cleaning sensor window devices for mine site equipment and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a self-cleaning sensor system includes a sensor housing having an opening, a sensor carried by the sensor housing, a self-cleaning window device coupled to the sensor enclosure and positioned at least partially within the opening. The self-cleaning window device comprises a window positioned forward of the sensor to allow the sensor to transmit and/or receive signals through the window, a cleaning assembly directed toward the window and configured to clean debris from the front surface of the window, and a controller operably coupled to the cleaning assembly. The controller can transmit control signals to the cleaning assembly to initiate cleaning of the front surface of the window.

    Abstract: Mining shovel with compositional multispectral and/or hyperspectral imaging and associated methods and systems are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a mining detection system includes a mining bucket carrying a multispectral and/or hyperspectral imaging system and various sensors directed toward material entering and positioned within the bucket. The bucket can also carry a control enclosure housing image and sensor processing equipment that receives and analyzes the data collected by the multispectral and/or hyperspectral imaging system and the sensors. The disclosed systems and methods can provide real-time compositional analysis of mined materials at the mining site, which can be used to manage a mining field, including generating and transmitting instructions for where the material within the bucket should be delivered based on the data collected from the multispectral and/or hyperspectral imaging system and the sensors.
