Claim 7:
8. A method, comprising:
receiving a first input associated with a first position of a work implement of a machine, wherein the first input is used to define an electronic fence around a working area within an environment;
receiving a second input associated with a second position of the work implement, wherein the second input is used to define the electronic fence; defining, based at least in part on the first input and the second input, the electronic fence around the working area;
preventing the work implement from extending outside the electronic fence;
receiving image data depicting at least a portion of a first object and at least a portion of a second object within a field of view of one or more cameras of the machine, and at least a portion of the environment;
based at least in part on the image data, determining that the first object is located outside of the electronic fence and that the second object is located within the working area inside the electronic fence;
based at least in part on determining that the first object is located outside of the electronic fence, refraining from initially causing output of at least one first alert indicative of a presence of the first object; and
based at least in part on determining that the second object is located within the working area inside the electronic fence, causing output of at least one second alert indicative of a presence of the second object.
