Abstract: A method for automatically steering an agricultural machine on an agricultural area that is to be worked. The method includes optically detecting a first region of the area that is to be worked lying in a direction of travel of the agricultural machine in a first recording via a first optical sensor in a first position with a first viewing direction. The method further includes optically detecting a second region of the area that is to be worked lying in the direction of travel of the agricultural machine in a second recording via a second optical sensor in a second position with a second viewing direction. The method additionally includes detecting a tramline in the first recording and detecting a tramline in the second recording, determining a first trajectory and a second trajectory, and determining a steering signal based on the first trajectory and/or the second trajectory.

Abstract: A method for online calibration of an environment detection system (12) of an agricultural utility vehicle (10). The method is carried out during operation of the agricultural utility vehicle (10). During a first step, the environment detection system (12) detects the current environment of the agricultural utility vehicle (10). During a further step, current extrinsic calibration parameters are determined on the basis of the current environment (20) detected. Furthermore, a calibration device (14) for carrying out the method and an agricultural utility vehicle (10) with such a calibration device (14) are also described.

Abstract: An apparatus for localizing an agricultural machine in an agricultural useful area. The apparatus includes an input interface configured to receive, as input, a route predefined in the useful area and image data related to a monitoring region of the useful area detected by a sensor and located in a vicinity of the agricultural machine. The apparatus also includes an evaluation unit configured to detect a position of the monitoring region with respect to the predefined route and an output interface configured to output the detected position.
