Patent number: 11954878Abstract: A device to determine a height disparity between features of an image includes a memory including instructions and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured by the instructions to obtain an image including a first repetitive feature and a second repetitive feature. The processing circuitry is further configured by the instructions to determine a distribution of pixels in a first area of the image, where the first area includes an occurrence of the repetitive features, and to determine a distribution of pixels in a second area of the image, where the second area includes another occurrence of the repetitive features. The processing circuitry is further configured by the instructions to evaluate the distribution of pixels in the first area and the distribution of pixels in the second area to determine a height difference between the first repetitive feature and the second repetitive feature.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Raven Industries, Inc.Inventors: Yuri Sneyders, John D. Preheim

Patent number: 11704810Abstract: System and techniques for detecting a crop related row from an image are described herein. An image that includes several rows—where the several rows including crop rows and furrows—can be obtained. The image can be segmented to produce a set of image segments. A filter can be shifted across respective segments of the set of image segments to get a set of positions. A line can be fit members of the set of positions, the line representing a crop row or furrow.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2021Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Raven Industries, Inc.Inventors: Yuri Sneyders, John D. Preheim, Jeffrey Allen Van Roekel

Patent number: 11606478Abstract: System and techniques for adaptive color transformation to aid computer vision are described herein. Colors from an image are mapped into a multi-dimensional space to create a distribution of colors in the image. A line can be fit to the distribution. Here, the line includes an angle relative to a coordinate system of the multi-dimensional space. A transformation to colors can then be applied to the image based on the angle of the line. The transformation producing a reduced image where a color complexity of the original image is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2021Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: Raven Industries, Inc.Inventors: Yuri Sneyders, John D. Preheim, Jeffrey Allen Van Roekel

Publication number: 20220397906Abstract: A system having a guidance module to obtain a travel path from an agricultural machine to a target. The guidance module including a perception module to determine target line that extends from the machine to the target, and obstacle detection module to detect an obstacle in the first target line, the obstacle having an obstacle boundary that intersects the target line. The guidance module including a mitigation module to obtain a mitigation path around the obstacle based on the target line and the obstacle boundary, the mitigation path including a mitigation segment. The mitigation module including an entrance module configured to determine a starting position of the mitigation path based on a second target line and an exit module configured to determine the ending position of the mitigation path based on a third target line. The guidance module including convergence module to combine the mitigation path with the travel path.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Inventors: Yuri Sneyders, Jeffrey Allen Van Roekel, Matthew K.
