Abstract
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for controlling a machine based on a lateral error. A system includes a control system or a user interface (UI), and processing circuitry configured to cause the system to detect a machine detection boundary and a crop detection boundary, the machine detection boundary being of a support structure of a machine, and the crop detection boundary being of a row of plant material, determine a lateral error represented by a first distance between the machine detection boundary and the crop detection boundary, and control the control system or the UI based on the lateral error.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a control system or a user interface (UI);
- and
- processing circuitry configured to cause the system to
- detect a machine detection boundary and a crop detection boundary, the machine detection boundary being of a support structure of a machine, and the crop detection boundary being of a row of plant material,
- determine a lateral error represented by a first distance between the machine detection boundary and the crop detection boundary, and
- control the control system or the UI based on the lateral error.
A method, comprising:
- detecting a machine detection boundary and a crop detection boundary, the machine detection boundary being of a support structure of a machine, and the crop detection boundary being of a row of plant material;
- determining a lateral error represented by a first distance between the machine detection boundary and the crop detection boundary;
- and
- controlling a control system or a user interface (UI) based on the lateral error.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- detecting a machine detection boundary and a crop detection boundary, the machine detection boundary being of a support structure of a machine, and the crop detection boundary being of a row of plant material;
- determining a lateral error represented by a first distance between the machine detection boundary and the crop detection boundary;
- and
- controlling a control system or a user interface (UI) based on the lateral error.
