PATH PLANNING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEFINING A HARVEST PATH FOR HARVESTING A CROP MATERIAL FROM A FIELD

A path planning system includes a path planning algorithm operable to receive a desired harvest width for each pass of a harvester implement, and a boundary of a harvest area to be harvested. The path planning algorithm determine a surface elevation of the harvest area within the boundary, which inc...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A path planning system includes a path planning algorithm operable to receive a desired harvest width for each pass of a harvester implement, and a boundary of a harvest area to be harvested. The path planning algorithm determine a surface elevation of the harvest area within the boundary, which includes at least one elevation contour establishing a line of constant elevation. The path planning algorithm then defines a harvest path for the harvester implement to follow while harvesting the crop material. The harvest path is defined to substantially parallel the at least one elevation contour, and is incremented in elevation in a parallel manner based on the desired harvest width.
