Abstract
An automated grain filling system including a sensor and a processor. The sensor is configured to detect at least a portion of an upper perimeter of a receiving container and at least a portion of an upper surface of a grain mound in the receiving container. The processor is configured to compare the detected portion of the upper perimeter and the detected portion of the upper surface, and direct the operation of a grain transfer element. The grain transfer element is configured to transfer grain from a supplying container to the receiving container. The directed operation of the grain transfer element is based at least in part on a result of the comparison of the detected portion of the upper perimeter and the detected portion of the upper surface.
