Agricultural harvester with robotic control

摘要: An agricultural harvesting machine (10) (harvester) is automatically controlled and steered so as to completely harvest all crop in a field. A Global Positioning System (54) (GPS) an Inertial Navigation (56) provide data regarding the position orientation of harvester Field Coverage Planner (116) constructs field coverage plan which defines path for follow cutting from Video images front are derived alternately two video cameras (42, 44) mounted on opposite sides harvester. The processed Processing Computer (48) detect line (16, 16') between cut uncut generate steering signals along line. also end row (18) at supply measure distance row. When reached, executes 180 ° spin turn traverses direction.
