Abstract

The article concerns the issue of automatic recognition of the moment of achieving the desired degree of training of an operator of devices used in precision agriculture. The aim of the research was to build a neural model that recognizes when an operator has acquired the skill of operating modern navigation on parallel strips used in precision agriculture. To conduct the test, a standard device to assist the operator in guiding the machine along given paths, eliminating overlaps, was selected. The thesis was proven that the moment of operator training (meaning driving along designated paths with an accuracy of up to eight centimeters) can be automatically recognized by a properly selected artificial neural network. This network was learned on the basis of data collected during the observation of the operator training process, using a criterion defined by experts. The data collected in the form of photos of the actual and designated route was converted into numerical data and entered into the network input. The output shows the binary evaluation of the trip. It has been shown that the developed neural model will allow the determining of the moment when operators acquire the skills to drive a vehicle along the indicated path and thus shorten the training time.
