AGRICULTURAL WORKING MACHINE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A01D41/127 G01F1/05 G01F1/06 G01F11/24 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: agricultural working machine, in particular a self-propelled harvesting machine with a harvester comprising a device for cutting a harvested crop, device for gripping harvested crop and/or device for retracting retracted crop and, at least, one device for transportation of harvested crop. Self-propelled harvesting machine comprises image processing system, data output unit, and at least one sensor system, connected to harvesting device and intended for recognition of flow of harvested crop in harvesting device. System of sensors is connected to image processing system for image transmission. Images generated by the sensor system are transmitted to an image processing system which processes a set of available images. At first step, image processing system preprocesses transmitted images; at the next step, generates, from preprocessed images, an optical stream and corresponding vector fields; at the next step, outputs profiles of flow rate of harvested crop from corresponding vector fields and analyzes them.

EFFECT: ensuring accuracy, reliability and timeliness of flow control of harvested crop.
