105 VISION GUIDANCE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING THE POSITION OF CROP ROWS IN A FIELD US11678548 2007-02-23 US20070271012A1 2007-11-22 Todd Jochem; Parag Batavia; Mark Ollis
A system and method of identifying a position of a crop row in a field, where an image of two or more crop rows is transmitted to a vision data processor. The vision data processor defines a candidate scan line profile for a corresponding heading and pitch of associated with a directional movement of a vehicle, for example, traversing the two or more crop rows. The candidate scan line profile comprises an array of vector quantities, where each vector quantity comprises an intensity value and a corresponding position datum. A preferential scan line profile in a search space about the candidate scan line profile is determined, and the candidate scan line profile is identified as a preferential scan line profile for estimating a position (e.g., peak variation) of one or more crop rows if a variation in the intensity level of the candidate scan line profile exceeds a threshold variation value.
106 Method and system for vehicular guidance using a crop image US11303696 2005-12-16 US20070014434A1 2007-01-18 Jiantao Wei; Shufeng Han
The method and system for vehicular guidance comprises an imaging device for collecting color image data. A definer defines a series of scan line segments generally perpendicular to a transverse axis of the vehicle or of the imaging device. An image parameter evaluator determines scan line image parameter data for each of the scan line segments. An alignment detector (e.g., search engine) identifies a preferential heading of the vehicle that is generally aligned with respect to a crop feature, associated with the image data, based on the determined scan line image parameter meeting or exceeding a maximum value or minimum threshold value.

108 Contour scanning apparatus for agricultural machinery US09543323 2000-04-05 US06389785B1 2002-05-21 Norbert Diekhans; Jochen Huster
A device on a mobile agricultural machine for contactless scanning of contours extending over the ground, such as the contour of a swath of crop material. In this case there is used a laser distance measuring device consisting of a laser beam transmitting and receiving device which determines the distance from a contour point by measuring the running time of a laser scanning beam emitted and reflected at the contour point. The laser scanning beams are pivoted within a certain angular range stepwise or continuously in a scanning beam plane. In this case the laser distance measuring device is mounted with an orientation on the agricultural machinery such that the scanning beam plane is inclined to the ground at an acute angle forwards in the direction of travel. With the aid of an analyzer, the position of the contour point corresponding to each pivot angle, based upon the measured distance and the arrangement and orientation of the laser distance measuring device on the agricultural machine, can be determined.
