Abstract
A vehicular gesture control system includes sensors such as IoT (internet of things) sensors that can share data with other vehicles and that can communicate with the cloud to provide intelligent handling of the irrigation system.
Claims20
A method for controlling an irrigation system, the method comprising:
- generating a multi-dimensional model of the irrigation system with a frame and water valves attached to the frame to dispense water to crops in the field;
- augmenting the model with field data from cameras and position sensors;
- determining water pattern based on at least the augmented multi-dimensional model;
- determining irrigation system control options based on the model, a current state of the irrigation system and environmental factors;
- analyzing water spray pattern, wind speed and weather parameters, and edges of one or more spray patterns for a predetermined area, and
- controlling the irrigation system to control movement of the frame in a field for irrigation.

A system, comprising
- a frame,
- water valves attached to the frame to dispense water to crops in the field;
- cameras and position sensors to capture field data to form a model of the field, and
- a processor to control movement of the frame to move around a field for irrigation,
- wherein from cameras and position sensor data, the processor analyzes water spray pattern, wind speed and weather parameters, and edges of one or more spray patterns for a predetermined area and determines irrigation system control options based on the model, a current state of the irrigation system and environmental factors, the processor controlling the movement of the frame in the field for irrigation.
