Abstract

A storage compartment profile monitoring and control system for an agricultural system may include at least one sensor configured to output sensor signals indicative of a corresponding series of images of particulate material within a storage compartment and at least one graduated marking on the storage compartment during a period of operation of a metering system and a controller comprising a memory and a processor. The controller is communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor and configured to receive the sensor signals from the at least one sensor to determine a series of profiles of the particulate material within the storage compartment based on the series of images. The controller also determines a volumetric rate of change of the particulate material based on the series of profiles and control controls the metering system based on the change.
