Zusammenfassung:	An agricultural harvester for harvesting a crop on a field is described. The harvester comprises a chopping assembly (200) configured to chop a crop residue of the harvested crop. The chopping assembly (200) comprises an inlet (210) for receiving the crop residue, a rotor (130, 240) provided with one or more cutting tools (250) and configured to chop the crop residue, a drive assembly (270) configured to drive the rotor (130, 240) and an outlet for outputting the chopped crop residue onto the field. The harvester further comprises an image based sensor (350) configured to monitor the chopped crop residue, thereby generating a signal (370) and a processing unit (360) configured to receive the signal (370) of the image based sensor, process the signal (370) to derive a geometric parameter indicative of a geometry of the chopped crop residue, and determine a control signal for the drive assembly (270), based on the geometric parameter.
