Modern image processing technologies are already widely used in agriculture. Tractors can be equipped with GPS receivers, cameras and sensors for navigation, measuring soil moisture, controlling the application of resources (such as fertilizers and pesticides), and monitoring plant growth.
Identification and analysis of the main shortcomings of existing methods of pre-processing and selection of image contours and is of particular interest in the field of processing and improving the quality of digital images in navigation systems, such as: automatic driving systems (Auto Guidance Systems)
The relevance of improving the process of image processing in navigation systems of agricultural machines in conditions of limited visibility is important for several reasons:
- effective image processing allows agricultural machines to automatically determine their location and perform navigation tasks even in difficult weather conditions when visibility is limited.
- accurate image processing can help avoid errors related to navigation, which can be critical in growing crops.
- with accurate image processing, agricultural machines can precisely determine the places where resources such as fertilizers or plant protection products need to be applied, allowing to optimize their use and reduce costs.
- conditions of limited visibility, such as fog, rain or high humidity, may affect visibility for operators.
Modern image processing technologies are already widely used in agriculture. Tractors can be equipped with GPS receivers, cameras and sensors for navigation, measuring soil moisture, controlling the application of resources (such as fertilizers and pesticides), and monitoring plant growth.
Taking into account these factors, the development and improvement of image processing technologies in the navigation systems of agricultural machines remains an important topic of research and development in the field of agriculture.

Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is a scholarly professional journal with a long-standing history and stable academic tradition, reflecting the evolution of engineering and technical sciences within the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine.
The journal was founded in 1997 under the title Bulletin of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. According to the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated September 11, 1997, the publication obtained the status of a professional scientific journal, which enabled the publication of the main results of doctoral and candidate dissertations in technical sciences. From its inception, the journal positioned itself as an academic platform for addressing current issues of mechanization, electrification, and technical support of agricultural production. During 2001–2014, the journal was published under the title Proceedings of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. Series: Technical Sciences (State Registration Certificate of Print Media KV No. 16644-5116 PR dated April 30, 2010). Throughout this period, a systematic approach to the selection and peer review of scientific manuscripts was established, the thematic scope of publications was expanded, and continuity of scientific directions as well as the development of sectoral engineering schools was ensured. Since 2015, the journal has been published under its current title, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC (State Registration Certificate No. 21906-11806 R dated March 12, 2016). The change of title reflected the expansion of the journal’s thematic coverage and its orientation toward interdisciplinary research in mechanical engineering, energy systems, electrical engineering, transport technologies, automation, and digital solutions for the agro-industrial complex.
