Sensor fusion-based swath profile

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a system comprising a machine configured to traverse a field having windrows; a radar sensor mounted to the machine, the radar sensor arranged to transmit first signals to, and receive first reflected signals from, one of the windrows and the field adjacent the one of the windrows; a lidar sensor mounted to the machine, the lidar sensor arranged to transmit second signals to, and receive second reflected signals from, the one of the windrows and the field adjacent the one of the windrows; and a processing circuit configured to receive data corresponding to the first and second reflected signals and determine a mass profile and a geometric profile of the one of the windrows based on the data.
