  • Patent number: 10582185
    Abstract: An agricultural working machine, in particular a tractor, has at least one agricultural working unit for working a crop field including a multitude of useful plants, and a camera system which includes a 3D camera. The camera system is configured for generating with the 3D camera 3D information regarding the crop field by recording stereoscopic image pairs along two different viewing axes. The viewing axes proceed from optical centers of the 3D camera, which are connected to each other by a baseline that is inclined relative to the horizontal.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9924636
    Abstract: A crop harvesting machine has a machine body and a discharge spout attached to the machine body for overloading crop via a crop stream to a trailer. And electronic spout control and a discharge spout drive arrangement displaces the discharge spout relative to the machine body based on drive commands of the electronic spout control for guiding the crop stream to a target hit point at the trailer. A first sensor arrangement generates sensor information by optically identifying a reference feature at the trailer and detecting the position of the reference feature and/or space orientation of the reference feature. The second sensor arrangement generates sensor information by detecting a space orientation of the machine body, the discharge spout or both. The electronic spout control generates its drive commands for guiding the crop stream based on the sensor information.

  • Patent number: 9468140
    Abstract: An agricultural machine with an implement for working a row culture of working rows arranged parallel to one another, interference rows arranged at an angle to the working rows or both includes at least one controllably moveably working section with activatable working devices for working the row culture. The implement has a control unit for controlling the working section and working device relative to a working row and an optical sensor unit connected to the control unit for generating an image of at least part of the row culture, from which a sensor signal (S) is generated for controlling the controllably working section, working device or both. The control unit evaluates a validity of the sensor signal (S) to determine whether the sensor signal (S) is used for controlling the working section or working device based on at least one evaluation parameter.
