1. A work machine control system for detecting truck damage, the system comprising:
a work machine having a detection unit disposed on the work machine configured to generate a first image data and a second image data of a loading area of a truck, the work machine configured to deposit earth material into the loading area; and
a controller configured to receive the first image data, generate a 3D object from the received first image data, receive the second image data that is generated later in time than the first image data, update the 3D object with the second image data, and detect any indication of damage that occurred between the generating of the first image data and the second image data to the loading area from the updated 3D object.
