Abstract

The invention discloses a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and mechanical sensing-based cotton picker row alignment deviation detection method. The method comprises the following steps of: acquiring a cotton picker row alignment deviation original value measured by a row alignment sensing device of a cotton picker at the current moment; acquiring a detection point coordinate and a motion course of a row sensing device of the cotton picker at the current moment, and storing the coordinates and the motion course to a first-in first-out queue; on the basis of the deviation original value and a set deviation threshold value, whether the crop row at the detection point of the row sensing device of the cotton picker lacks rows and breaks ridges or not is judged; if the row lacking and ridge breaking do not exist, a designed Kalman filter is used to carry out fusion processing on row sensor data and GNSS data so as to obtain a more accurate and smooth row deviation estimation result; if the row lacks and the ridge is broken, GNSS positioning is adopted to calculate the row control deviation at the detection point of the row control sensing device until all row control deviation detection is completed. According to the invention, the cotton picker not only can adapt to small curvature change of crop rows during automatic row control operation, but also can ensure stable and accurate row control during plant missing and ridge breaking in a cotton field.
