Abstract
A system for detecting disk blade damage on an agricultural implement includes a disk blade configured to rotate relative to soil within a field across which the agricultural implement is traveling. Moreover, the system includes an imaging device configured to generate image data depicting an aft portion of the field located rearward of the disk blade relative to a direction of travel of the agricultural implement, with the aft portion of the field including a lane of the field to be worked by the disk blade. In addition, a computing system is configured to analyze the image data generated by the imaging device to identify when vegetation is present within the lane of the field. Furthermore, the computing system is configured to determine that the disk blade is damaged when the vegetation is present within the lane of the field.
