Page 8: Intended Use
The HORUS row guidance system performs control action according to differing row structures (rows of plants and multiple rows). The signals are processed in the HORUS row guidance system and then used for controlling the implement. The system must be switched off whenever driving on public roads and farm roads.

Page 25 Function of camera Depending on the selected mode, the HORUS camera identifies plants by their colour (2D mode) or height (3D mode). The system looks for plants forming a straight line (row spacing, plant width and height). The lines that can be detected best (1) are used for determining the position of the rows of plants relative to the camera.
Page 26 This reduces the load on the camera and eliminates faulty influences from the hidden area. Cut-out areas are displayed as black areas (1) in the video image. Page 104 431357-001 MG7898-EN-GB | A.1 | 01.12.2024 | © AMAZONE...
Page 27 Automatic control is active, 2D mode is set. The signal quality is below the threshold value. Automatic control is active, 3D mode is set. The signal quality is below the threshold value. 360886-001 Page 101, Setting the threshold value MG7898-EN-GB | A.1 | 01.12.2024 | © AMAZONE...
Page 28 ► When the plant row crosses the created lines: compare the camera angle with the pre-set angle and correct if necessary. 188828-001 Valid signal When the plant row is within the created lines, the application is correctly set. 188830-001 MG7898-EN-GB | A.1 | 01.12.2024 | © AMAZONE...

4.2 Accuracy and signal quality 254439-001 4.2.1 Accuracy and signal quality This chapter explains the measurement and the system accuracy of the HORUS system. The accuracy basically depends on three sub-systems. • Camera measurement • Control system and condition of implement •...
Page 40: System Accuracy
A typical implement with an optimally set HORUS system will achieve the following system accuracies at a maximum shifting rate of 50 mm / s.
Page 41: Signal Quality
- High weed density (2D mode) - or weeds and crop are equally high (3D mode). • User-defined settings deviate too much from the real conditions. - Pre-set structures. - Camera height and angle. MG7898-EN-GB | A.1 | 01.12.2024 | © AMAZONE...
Page 42: Restricting Factors
This picture shows how weeds form their own row structure (1). The weed rows are easier to detect than the plant rows (2). This condition causes problems if the camera detects the wrong rows. 181939-001 MG7898-EN-GB | A.1 | 01.12.2024 | © AMAZONE...
