摘要： A method for the application of agricultural fluid to a field includes determining a location of each of a plurality of nozzles of an agricultural spraying machine. A flow rate for each of the nozzles is determined based on each respective nozzle's location in the field. A field map is used to determine a crop requirement and application restriction associated with a nozzle's location. The field map contains indications of crop requirements and application restrictions. The flow rate for a nozzle is determined by comparing the nozzle's location to the field map. A flow rate signal is transmitted to each of the nozzles based on its determined flow rate.

摘要： A system for controlling a ground speed of an agricultural sprayer includes a speed setting device for commanding a selected ground speed of the sprayer when operating within a speed-range mode associated with a ground speed range. The speed setting device is movable across a plurality of positions, with each position being associated with a different ground speed within the ground speed range. A maximum range speed of the ground speed range is lower than a maximum ground speed of the sprayer. As such, the system includes a speed override input device for commanding that the ground speed of the sprayer be increased to the maximum ground speed. When an override input is received from the speed override input device, the computing system controls the operation of a sprayer drive system to increase the ground speed of the sprayer from the selected ground speed to the maximum ground speed.

摘要： A method includes obtaining image data indicative of plant matter on a field and identifying, based on the image data, one or more areas on the field in a path of an agricultural machine to apply an agricultural product. The agricultural machine includes a product application system having a plurality of actuatable applicator mechanisms, and the one or more areas includes some, but not all, of the field in the path of an agricultural machine. The method includes operating the product application system to apply the agricultural product to the one or more areas, and generating a user interface display that displays a field representation that visually distinguishes the one or more areas, identified based on the image data, from other areas on the field.

摘要： An agricultural sprayer includes an actuator configured to adjust the position of a boom assembly of the sprayer relative to a frame of the sprayer. A computing system is configured to determine the operating parameter of the sprayer at a current time based on received sensor data. Moreover, the computing system is configured to anticipate when the boom assembly will move relative to the frame in a fore/aft direction at a future time based on the determined operating parameter, with the fore/aft direction being parallel to a direction of travel of the agricultural sprayer. In addition, when it is anticipated that the boom assembly will move, the computing system is configured to control the operation of the actuator before the future time such that movement of the boom assembly relative to the frame is reduced at the future time.

摘要： A system mounted in a vehicle includes a boom arrangement including a predefined number of electronically controllable sprayer nozzles and a plurality of image-capture devices. One or more hardware processors of the system are configured to obtain a plurality of images from the plurality of image-capture devices and receive geospatial location correction data from an external device. The one or more hardware processors are configured to execute mapping of pixel data of weeds or a crop plant in an image to distance information and cause a specific set of electronically controllable sprayer nozzles from amongst the predefined number of electronically controllable sprayer nozzles to operate based on a defined confidence threshold.

摘要： One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a center frame positioning method for an agricultural sprayer. The method comprises activating a center frame positioning system and collecting and processing position data related to a position of a suspended center frame in the center frame positioning system. The method further comprises evaluating the position data to determine whether any adjustment to the position of the suspended center frame is needed and controlling actuator force in at least one actuator to adjust the position of the suspended center frame based on the evaluating the position data.
