Abstract

This chapter introduced the reader to the improtance of precision farming and automation for the development of efficient agricultural machinery. Further on, it gives a brief introduction to self-propelled harvesting machines and the state of the art in harvester header control. Hereto, the basic structure of a header control system, the modes of header operation, different header height sensing concepts, as well as different control approaches are described. The chapter ends with an explanation of the approach and the structure of this book.
