Abstract: A system for generating a non-visual notification of a machine condition includes a machine condition sensor configured to sense a machine condition. A notification generation controller is in communication with the machine condition sensor. The notification generation controller generates a notification according to the sensed machine condition. In a feedback configuration the notification generation controller compares an integral of a rate of change of the sensed machine condition with a threshold to trigger the generation of a notification. In a guidance configuration the notification generation controller uses the deviation of the machine condition from a guidance direction determined with a steering algorithm to control the generation of a notification. A non-visual notification generator is in communication with the notification generation controller and generates a non-visual notification based on the notification.

Abstract: A system and method for determining the boundaries of a field is disclosed. The system and method utilizes computational geometry and, in particular, the alpha shape of the field to derive the field boundary of a set of georeferenced data points. The method includes collecting georeferenced data for the field, assigning the georeferenced data to a data set, filtering the data to remove anomalous data points, filtering the data to remove known inside points, scaling the point coordinates from decimal to integer form, determining the alpha shape of the set, buffering the alpha shape to compensate for antenna position, and outputting the field boundary.
