1. An obstruction avoidance system comprising:
a tractor for use with an implement, the tractor comprising at least one sensor configured to output signals serving as a basis for a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud and to output signals corresponding to a two-dimensional (2D) image; and
an obstruction avoidance unit comprising:
a processor;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions to direct the processor to:
output control signals to the at least one sensor to capture a particular 2D image proximate the tractor;
output control signals to the at least one sensor to output the signals serving as a basis for a particular 3D point cloud;
identify an obstruction candidate in the particular 2d image;
correlate the obstruction candidate in the particular 2D image to a portion of the particular 3D point cloud to determine a location of the obstruction candidate relative to the tractor and to determine a dimension of the obstruction direction;
classify the obstruction candidate as an obstruction based on the location and the dimension; and
output control signals to alter a state of the implement coupled to the tractor in response to the obstruction candidate being classified as the obstruction,
wherein the instructions are to direct the processor to control a duration at which the state of the implement is altered based upon a speed of the tractor, and
wherein the implement comprises tires and a pneumatic pump and wherein the instructions are configured to direct the processor to output control signals to actuate the pneumatic pump to inflate the tires to raise the implement to a height based upon the determined location and dimension of the obstruction.
