RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Design and implementation of a GPS guidance system for agricultural tractors using augmented reality technology A1 Santana Fernández, Javier A1 Gómez Gil, Jaime A1 Pozo San Cirilo, Laura Del K1 Augmented reality K1 Virtual reality K1 Guidance K1 GPS K1 Precision farming K1 33 Ciencias Tecnológicas AB Current commercial tractor guidance systems present to the driver information to perform agricultural tasks in the best way. This information generally includes a treated zones map referenced to the tractor’s position. Unlike actual guidance systems where the tractor driver must mentally associate treated zone maps and the plot layout, this paper presents a guidance system that using Augmented Reality (AR) technology, allows the tractor driver to see the real plot though eye monitor glasses with the treated zones in a different color. The paper includes a description of the system hardware and software, a real test done with image captures seen by the tractor driver, and a discussion predicting that the historical evolution of guidance systems could involve the use of AR technology in the agricultural guidance and monitoring systems.
