Abstract
A method for controlling an implement moved by an agricultural vehicle driving over a path along a crop row includes using a point cloud sensor to scan a portion of the crop row and to generate a point cloud. Multiple crop row volumes arranged along the portion of the crop row are determined. For each crop row volume, a vertical point density distribution is determined by determining which points of the point cloud fall within the crop row volume. The implement is controlled based on the vertical point density distribution of each crop row volume.
