Abstract: One or more sensors can capture images of at least a portion of crop residue, which can be shown in real time on a display. Information captured by the sensors can be used to determine crop residue parameter information. The crop residue information can pertain to either or both the processing of crop residue by, or the distribution of crop residue from, the agricultural machine. Virtual representations of the crop residue parameter information can overlay at least a portion of, or otherwise be presented in connection with, the captured image shown on the display. The virtual representation can have an appearance that can visually convey the crop residue parameter information to an operator. Such visual representations can include the use of parameter identifiers, graphical shapes, or text, as well as combinations thereof. The virtual representation of the crop residue parameter information can also provide an indication as to whether the crop residue parameter information satisfies a predetermined threshold.
