AGRICULTURAL MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18735270 titled 'AGRICULTURAL MACHINE
The abstract describes an agricultural machine equipped with an image recognition system to identify a row region containing crops or ridges on a field's surface. The machine includes traveling equipment with steering wheels, a controller to manage the equipment, and a start switch to initiate row-following travel along the detected row region.
- The agricultural machine features an image recognition system to detect row regions with crops or ridges.
- Traveling equipment includes steering wheels for precise navigation.
- A controller is programmed to control the traveling equipment for row-following travel.
- A start switch initiates the row-following travel along the detected row region.
- The machine enhances efficiency and accuracy in agricultural operations by autonomously following rows.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various agricultural settings to streamline planting, weeding, and harvesting processes.
Problems Solved: The technology addresses the challenge of accurately navigating row crops in large fields, improving overall efficiency and reducing manual labor.
Benefits: Enhanced precision and efficiency in agricultural operations, reduced labor costs, and improved crop yield through optimized row following.
Commercial Applications: "Autonomous Row-Following Agricultural Machine: Revolutionizing Precision Farming"
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in image recognition technology and autonomous agricultural machinery for potential improvements in efficiency and accuracy.
Questions about Autonomous Row-Following Agricultural Machine: 1. How does the image recognition system enhance the efficiency of the agricultural machine? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this technology in farming operations?
Original Abstract Submitted
An agricultural machine includes an image recognition system to detect a row region including at least one of a crop and a ridge on a ground surface of a field, traveling equipment including a wheel responsible for steering, a controller configured or programmed to control the traveling equipment, and a start switch to give a command to start row-following travel where the controller is configured or programmed to control the traveling equipment to travel along the row region as detected by the image recognition system.
