Claim 5:
6. A method for selectively applying an agricultural product, the method comprising:
capturing, with one or more imaging sensors associated with a first vehicle, one or more images of an underlying field;
developing, with a computing system, a map of at least a portion of the underlying field based on the one or more images;
identifying, with the computing system, one or more targets within the one or more images, the one or more objects being detected weeds;
determining, with the computing system, a location of the one or more targets within the map;
determining, with the computing system, a topology of the field based on the image data;
predicting, with the computing system, a deflection of a boom assembly of the second vehicle based on the topology of the field at a position of the target;
determining, based on data provided by a target sensor operably coupled with the second vehicle, a lateral offset of the target relative to a reference point on the second vehicle; and
determining, with the computing system of the sprayer, a deflection of a boom assembly of the sprayer; and
actuating a nozzle assembly to apply an agricultural product to the one or more targets when the one or more targets is positioned within an application region of the nozzle assembly based on the position of the sprayer, the lateral offset of the target from the reference point, and the deflection of the boom assembly.
