The Field Corner Needed a Planned Reverse
A headland path method modifies polygon corners so autonomous farm vehicles can cover acute and reflex angles.
Summary
A headland path method modifies polygon corners so autonomous farm vehicles can cover acute and reflex angles.
Compared with two nested-polygon approaches, the method reduced gaps, overlaps and boundary crossings especially near 90-degree corners and angles of 240 degrees or more. Examples use real field polygons; the work evaluates planning geometry, not crop yield or unattended safety.
