Abstract:
In one aspect, a system for monitoring sensor performance on an agricultural machine may include a controller configured to receive a plurality of images from the vision-based sensor mounted on an agricultural machine. The controller may be configured to determine an image parameter value associated with each of a plurality of pixels contained within each of the plurality of images. For each respective pixel of the plurality of pixels, the controller may be configured to determine a variance associated with the image parameter values for the respective pixel across the plurality of images. Furthermore, when the variance associated with the image parameter values for a given pixel of the plurality of pixels falls outside of a predetermined range, the controller may be configured to identify the given pixel as being at least one of obscured or inoperative.

Claim (Index 6):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to identify the vision-based sensor as being obscured or inoperative when a given number of individual pixels of the plurality of pixels that have been identified as being obscured or inoperative exceeds a predetermined threshold amount.
