A Low-cost Embedded System Integrated with Computer Vision for an Electro-hydraulic Implement Guidance System

A guidance system is an electro-hydraulic device that solves the problem of complicated control system by simplifying it. It works with computer-controlled hydraulic power technology and controls the steering, speed, and attachments (e.g., a loader). It auto-enhances safety for the operator and is easy to operate. Minimalistic design solutions are visible in all mobile hydraulic implement guidance technologies today: no bulky hydraulic machinery needed to move large amounts of heavy metals and moving parts to assemble a guidance system geared up not for transportation but utility. In this paper, a low-cost embedded system is developed which is integrated with computer vision for electro-hydraulic implement guidance system. The BPPD method proved to be effective in various lighting conditions and crop conditions.
