  • Publication number: 20220138464
    Abstract: An agricultural machine includes a product application system comprising a plurality of actuatable applicator mechanisms. Each actuatable applicator mechanism is configured to apply a substance on an agricultural surface. An imaging system includes an imaging capture component configured to capture of an image of plant matter on the agricultural surface, and an image processing module configured to determine a characteristic of the plant matter based on the image. A control system is configured to control one or more of the actuatable applicator mechanisms to apply the substance on the agricultural surface based on the determined characteristic, obtain diagnostic data indicative of operation of the imaging system, and generate a user interface display that displays a representation of the diagnostic data.
