    Abstract: An agricultural implement includes a sensor configured to emit output signals for reflection off of a surface and detect reflections of the output signals as return signals. Furthermore, the agricultural implement includes a computing system configured to control the sensor such that the sensor emits the output signals for reflection off of a calibration device including a base portion and a plurality of projections extending outward from the base portion such that a top surface of the calibration device approximates a surface profile of the field. Moreover, the computing system is configured to receive data indicative of a profile of the top surface of the calibration device from the sensor in a spatial domain. Additionally, the computing system is configured to convert the received data to a frequency domain using a spectral analysis technique and calibrate an operation of the sensor based on the converted data.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a system for providing a visual indication of field surface profile may include an imaging device having a field of view directed to a portion of a field. Furthermore, the system may include a profile sensor configured to capture profile data indicative of a surface profile of the portion of the field present within the field of view of the imaging device. Additionally, a controller may be configured to receive, from the imaging device, image data associated with an imaged portion of the field and determine the surface profile of the imaged portion of the field based on the profile data. Moreover, the controller may be configured to control a user interface to display a visual indicator in association with the image data, with the visual indicator providing a visual reference indicative of the determined surface profile of the imaged portion of the field.

    Abstract: A methods for soil clod detection within a field is provided herein and can include receiving, with a computing system, data indicative of terrain variations within a region of an agricultural field. The region of the field is comprised of one or more adjacently positioned segments. The method can also include generating, with the computing system, a mean reference line. The method can further include calculating, with the computing system, a segment height for each of the one or more adjacently positioned segments. The method can also include determining, with the computing system, a presence of an object based on a deviation of one of the one or more segment heights being greater than a threshold height from the reference line.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a system for determining soil clod size distribution as an agricultural implement is being towed across a field by a work vehicle may include a vision-based sensor provided in operative association with one of the work vehicle or the agricultural implement. As such, the vision-based sensor may be configured to capture vision data associated with a portion of the field present within a field of view of the vision-based sensor. Furthermore, the system may include a controller configured to receive vision data from the vision-based sensor. Moreover, the controller may be further configured to analyze the received vision data using a spectral analysis technique to determine a size distribution of soil clods present within the field of view of the vision-based sensor.
