  • Method and apparatus for guiding a vehicle
    Patent number: 8374790
    Abstract: A device for aligning a vehicle with a next pass through a field comprises a camera which takes a corresponding natural picture. A receiver is provided for receiving a navigational signal from a navigational satellite system. A central processing unit is connected to the camera for receiving the natural picture and the receiver for receiving the natural satellite signal. The CPU generates a master signal comprising a video signal of the navigational picture, an actual indicator signal representing the actual position of the vehicle, and a desired indicator signal representing the desired position of the vehicle. A display is connected to the CPU for receiving the master signal and generating a master image comprising a natural picture image, an actual indicator image, and a desired indicator image. The vehicle is driven to cause an alignment of the actual indicator image with the desired indicator image.
