CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE, AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROL OF CONTROLLED MEANS OF PRODUCT TRANSPORTATION Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A01D43/73 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to agriculture. The control system controls the means of transporting the product of an agricultural vehicle to supply the product to the target area. The control system comprises a three-dimensional image forming device for obtaining frames displaying at least a part of the target area, a data processor, and a memory device. The control system retrieves information from these frames and is made with the ability to obtain a reference frame which contains three-dimensional information on the location of the target area, the identification of number of the characteristic points of the target area in the reference frame, and obtaining a new frame. The control system analyses a new frame for identification of a number of characteristic points, performs the search and comparison of the characteristic points in the reference frame and the new frame, performs the analysis of pairs of aligned characteristic points to define the group of pairs showing the overall change of location from the reference frame to a new frame, and generates a signal taking into account the results of the last analysis.

EFFECT: group of inventions enables to detect reliably the surface of harvested material in the target area of the vehicle.
