  • 3-D image system for vehicle control
    Patent number: 11960295
    Abstract: A control system uses visual odometry (VO) data to identify a position of the vehicle while moving along a path next to the row and to detect the vehicle reaching an end of the row. The control system can also use the VO image to turn the vehicle around from a first position at the end of the row to a second position at a start of another row. The control system may detect an end of row based on 3-D image data, VO data, and GNSS data. The control system also may adjust the VO data so the end of row detected from the VO data corresponds with the end of row location identified with the GNSS data.

  • CROP TANK SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20170208742
    Abstract: A crop tank system has a crop tank for receiving harvested crop and a fill level sensor arrangement for detecting fill level information regarding the crop tank. The fill level sensor arrangement includes a radar sensor, which sends out and receives radar rays that, depending on the fill level of the crop contained in the crop tank, penetrate the crop contained in the crop tank and/or are reflected by the crop contained in the crop tank. The fill level sensor arrangement also includes an electronic sensor control, which determines the fill level information based on the received radar rays.
