Abstract
A plurality of different visual markers are deployed on a field. The markers include a target marker identifying a portion of the field that has a target of material to be applied to the field and a non-target marker identifying a portion of the field that does not have a target. An on-machine target identification system sense targets as an agricultural machine travels over the visual markers to identify targets in the field. An image processing adjustment controller correlates identified targets with the visual markers to determine an accuracy of the target identification system. An action signal is generated based upon the identified accuracy of the target identification system.
