Abstract[English]
Technologies for implement position management based on images of a light beam interacting with the ground or vegetation in a field. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving, by a computing system (200), images (104) of a light beam (330) interacting with the ground or vegetation in a field, wherein the source (332) of the light beam is attached to a mobile machine (110, 310) moving through the field, wherein the location where the beam interacts with the ground or vegetation changes relative to the mobile machine as the distance between the ground or vegetation and the source of the light beam changes, and wherein the change in the location of the beam is captured in the images. The method also includes using, by the computing system, the received images to generate implement position information (112) that is useable for controlling a position of an implement (322) of the machine as the machine moves through the field.[French]
L'invention concerne des technologies permettant la gestion de la position d'un accessoire sur la base d'images d'un faisceau lumineux interagissant avec le sol ou la végétation dans un champ. Dans certains modes de réalisation, un procédé consiste à recevoir, par un système informatique (200), des images (104) d'un faisceau lumineux (330) interagissant avec le sol ou la végétation dans un champ. La source (332) du faisceau lumineux est fixée à une machine mobile (110, 310) se déplaçant dans le champ. L'emplacement où le faisceau interagit avec le sol ou la végétation change par rapport à la machine mobile à mesure que la distance entre le sol ou la végétation et la source du faisceau lumineux change. Le changement de l'emplacement du faisceau est capturé dans les images. Le procédé consiste également à utiliser, par le système informatique, les images reçues pour générer des informations de position d'outil (112) qui peuvent être utilisées pour commander une position d'un accessoire (322) de la machine lorsque la machine se déplace dans le champ.
