Abstract

A system and a method are disclosed for planning a path within a field for a farming machine. The system predicts boundaries of the field using a previously captured image of the field and generates a suggested route to be taken by a data collection device based on the predicted boundaries. As the data collection device travels along the suggested route, the data collection device collects location data associated with a current layout of the field. The location data may be labeled with obstructions encountered along the way. Based on the location data, the system identifies current boundaries of the field, which may be different from the predicted boundaries. The current boundaries are sent to a verification device to be verified. After the current boundaries have been verified, the path for the farming machine is planned.
