In accordance with an example embodiment, an agricultural work vehicle includes a propulsion system for modifying vehicle speed, a harvesting system for harvesting crop, a perception system having at least one camera with a field of view of a forward zone in front of the vehicle, and a controller. The controller communicates with the propulsion, harvesting, and perception systems, and is configured to receive the perception signal, identify a harvest condition in the forward zone, adjust an operation setting of the propulsion system or harvesting system, and generate a forward-looking perception interface for a display screen. The forward-looking perception interface includes a forward zone area displaying the field of view and a status area displaying at least one harvest condition identified. The status area also displays a time and a sensitivity level associated with the at least one harvest condition identified.
