Abstract

In one aspect, a system for controlling the operation of an agricultural implement may include a ground-engaging tool configured to engage soil within a field such that the tool creates a field material cloud aft of the tool as the implement is moved across the field. Furthermore, the system may include an imaging device configured to capture image data associated with the field material cloud created by the ground-engaging tool. Moreover, a controller of the disclosed system may be configured to identify a plurality of field material units within the field material cloud based on the image data captured by the imaging device. Additionally, the controller may be configured to determine a characteristic associated with the identified plurality of field material units.
