Abstract

A patterned light from a visualization system mounted on a planter row unit is emitted onto a ground surface. A commodity and/or a product is deposited in the ground surface. Images of the projected patterned light on the trench with the commodity and/or product are captured with the visualization system. A controller determines whether the commodity captured in the image is a boundary commodity relative to a boundary. An error placement of the boundary commodity in the image relative to a boundary is determined using geographical identification metadata. If the error placement is unacceptable, a mechanical delay offset factor of a planter section control coupled with the planter row unit is adjusted. The controller determines a product characterization of the product and an error characterization of the product characterization relative to the location of the commodity. If the error characterization is unacceptable then the mechanical delay offset factor is adjusted.
