Abstract

A seed-planting implement includes a computing system configured to control a first radar sensor to scan a sub-surface detection zone of a field before a seed is deposited. Furthermore, the computing system is configured to receive a plurality of first radar data points. Additionally, the computing system is configured to populate a first matrix with the plurality of first data points. After controlling the first radar sensor, the computing system is configured to control the second radar sensor to scan the sub-surface detection zone of the field after the seed is deposited. Moreover, the computing system is configured to receive a plurality of second radar data points. In addition, the computing system is configured to populate a second matrix with the plurality of second data points. Furthermore, the computing system is configured to determine the location of the seed based on the first and second matrices.
