Abstract:In response to issues with traditional field of view measurement methods,such as dependence on manual operation,high measurement intensity,low efficiency,and insufficient accuracy,the design of an automated measurement system for the field of view of tractor drivers was presented. By optimizing the mathematical model established in existing standards,errors introduced by original assumptions were eliminated. The system also accounted for non-parallel conditions between obstructions and the pupil,allowing for more accurate measurement of field of view parameters. A hardware system comprising an Arduino Mega 2560,displacement sensors,a rotating platform,and other modules was designed to measure multiple field of view parameters. Low-pass filtering and piecewise spline interpolation algorithms were developed to process the collected data,ensuring result accuracy. Upper-computer software was also designed to achieve data visualization and result presentation. Test results indicated that the system can automatically and accurately measure the shadow chord lengths of obscured areas in the tractor driver's field of view. Compared with manual measurements,the error was no more than 9.3%,demonstrating high measurement efficiency and stability. The system can thus provide effective technical support for field of view measurement in practical agricultural production.
