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.
