Abstract: A plurality of different visual markers are deployed on a field. The markers include a target marker identifying a portion of the field that has a target of material to be applied to the field and a non-target marker identifying a portion of the field that does not have a target. An on-machine target identification system sense targets as an agricultural machine travels over the visual markers to identify targets in the field. An image processing adjustment controller correlates identified targets with the visual markers to determine an accuracy of the target identification system. An action signal is generated based upon the identified accuracy of the target identification system.

Abstract: A fault database includes a fault identifier, a signature or pattern that indicates the presence of the fault, and a set of mitigation control steps. The fault database is intermittently updated and downloaded to an agricultural machine. A fault identification system on the agricultural machine scans data logs that are generated by a log generation system on the agricultural machine and compares information in the data logs to the signature or pattern in the fault database to determine whether any of the faults in the fault database are present on the agricultural machine. If a fault in the fault database is present, a mitigation control step is identified to mitigate the fault, and a control signal is generated on the agricultural machine to implement the mitigation control step.

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.
