METHOD OF NAVIGATION OF AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE, AND AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A01F15/08 G08G1/968 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to agricultural vehicles. The method of navigation of an agricultural vehicle, equipped with a device of creation of three-dimensional images and an image processing device comprises the steps when from the device of creation of images the shots of area surrounding the vehicle at different moments in time are received, providing a chronological sequence of shots. Further, according to the analysis of two different shots the position change of the vehicle is determined. By comparing the position change of the vehicle and the steering angle the drift angle of steer wheels is determined. The agricultural vehicle comprises a device of creation of three-dimensional images, a computer system with an image processing device, a GPS system sensor, an inertial measuring unit, a unit of measuring the angle of steering control, and a detecting device of the rotary speed of the wheels. There is also a computer-readable medium with a set of instructions for implementation of the method of navigation.

EFFECT: improved accuracy of navigation.
