Can you explain what you mean by "in-efficient" ?

Wow that is costly!!

Woe there, not so fast. The push by all the companies is for very valuable data that farmers are more then willing to pay to give away, buy expensive new equipment, and technology. It provides opportunity for many new businesses to generate prescriptions, do mapping, consultations, Drone...

Neat video. You mean you don't have to spend 15,000 on a Trimble or JD? :)

There was the comment earlier about the tech improving and costing more etc. Well, the tech really hasn't changed that much, We have a 20 year old Outback with RTK that is just as good as any RTK system today. Certainly it costs more today, there are subscriptions, maybe looks a little prettier...

Do you know the repeatability and accuracy specs for RangePoint and CentrePoint? Found one, Rangepoint has 50 cm repeatability - kind of terrible, centerpoint ??

Because you will pay for it, and there are no other options. License to print money.

If you used opencv and did a Hough transform, you could define it to 3 shapes. Circle - the way to pick it up, square you would be 90 degrees off or ellipse you are at like a 45 degree. Then light/dark etc would not matter and only need a contrast

Do have distance and created path to marked flag which also has a direction associated with it. Not a huge leap to pick the path to the nearest flag mark. Can also auto steer to it.

What would be handy is knowing where the next 2 or 3 bales closest to you are and highlight them real time. Operator can decide which one to choose

No, it's because its extremely useful. Useful products consumers pull. Useless products need to be pushed.

This is an area that has intrigued me. You wouldn't necessarily need 2 systems, but would require 2 inputs and required math. Most systems that compute required wheel angle for guidance would be highly compatible - like AgOpenGPS. Using computer vision (CV) all you are looking for is how far off...

Interesting little bit of programming today. Been thinking about this for a bit, i know commercially unavailable - AFAIK. Real time overlap calculation. Gonna be very handy!

Sure is. The AB Line/curve is able to be moved so your first seed pass AB is 1/2 width from boundary. You can also flip the A and B points so you can make the line either way and you can still work right or left to be positive passes.
