Abstract
A method for monitoring a stereo vision system of an agricultural vehicle comprising: receiving a communication signal relating to a parameter of the agricultural vehicle; acquiring, based on the state signal, an operational image of an agricultural operation of the agricultural vehicle; generating a disparity image from the operational image; determining a disparity of the disparity image; and displaying a disparity indicator relating to the disparity of the disparity image to an operator of the agricultural vehicle.
Claims16
A method for monitoring a stereo vision system of an agricultural vehicle comprising:
- receiving a state signal relating to a parameter of the agricultural vehicle;
- acquiring, based on the state signal, an operational image of an agricultural operation of the agricultural vehicle;
- generating a disparity image from the operational image;
- determining a disparity of the disparity image;
- and
- displaying a disparity indicator relating to the disparity of the disparity image to an operator of the agricultural vehicle, wherein the disparity is a disparity health of the disparity image, the disparity health determined by segmenting the disparity image into cells and comparing the cells against a disparity health threshold.
A system for monitoring an agricultural vehicle comprising:
- a communication network configured to relay a communication signal relating to a parameter of the agricultural vehicle;
- a stereo vision system for generating an operational image of an agricultural operation of the agricultural vehicle;
- and
- a controller for receiving the communication signal and the operational image, the controller generating, based in part on the communication signal, a disparity image from the operational image, generating a disparity of the disparity image, and providing a disparity indicator relating to the disparity image to an operator of the agricultural vehicle, wherein the disparity is a disparity health of the disparity image, the disparity health determined by segmenting the disparity image into cells and comparing the cells against a disparity health threshold.
