Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method and device for measuring a crop height of an agricultural product by positioning the portable device above the agricultural product, determining a first distance between the portable device and the ground based on a video feed acquired with a camera of the portable device, determining a second distance between the portable device and the agricultural product based on the video feed, and determining the crop height based on the determined first and second distances.According to this approach, two distances are continuously determined from a video feed. A first distance relates to the ground, while a second distance relates to the (top of) the agricultural product. The height of the product can then easily be determined as the difference between these distances (i.e. the first distance minus the second distance).
