METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING A CROP TRANSFER PROCESS

A method of controlling a crop transfer process for transferring crop between an agricultural harvester and a nearby trailer. The method includes, at different points in time, using an optical sensor of the agricultural harvester to obtain image data relating to the nearby trailer. The obtained image data is processed to determine a status parameter of the nearby trailer at those different points in time. Based on the determined status parameter at the different points in time, the status parameter of the nearby trailer at a further and later point in time is estimated. The crop transfer process is then adjusted in dependence of the estimated status parameter.
