FIELD

One or more example embodiments relate to systems, methods, controllers and/or non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums for implement control of a vehicle and implement combination.

BACKGROUND

In the related art, tractors and implements each include a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver to guide a tractor and implement combination through a field.

SUMMARY

At least one example embodiment provides an implement comprising a global positioning system receiver and an implement control system. The global positioning system receiver is configured to obtain position information for the implement. The implement control system is configured to: determine a lateral error for the implement based on the position information; estimate a lateral error for a vehicle relative to the implement, the vehicle being attached to the implement; and steer the vehicle to guide the implement based on at least the lateral error for the implement and the lateral error for the vehicle.

According to one or more example embodiments, the implement may further include a perception detection system configured to capture one or more images of an optical target on the vehicle. The implement control system may be configured to estimate the lateral error for the vehicle based on the one or more images of the optical target. The perception detection system may include one or more cameras.
