Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling agricultural headers based on crop movement relative to a portion of the agricultural header are disclosed. The presence or movement of crop material, such as a crop material representing grain (e.g., ears, heads, or pods of crops ('EHP')), relative to the harvester header or a portion of the harvester header may be detected, such as by analyzing image data representing one or more images collected over time. Based on a position or movement or both of the crop material relative to the header, one or more parameters of the harvester header may be adjusted, for example, to reduce an amount of grain loss.
