    Abstract: A crop information system (10) for determining the location of an article (18) relative to a crop row. The system (10) includes a marker layer arranged to lay a set of markers (16) substantially linearly disposed at spaced intervals substantially parallel to and along the length of the crop and a sensing unit (12) mounted relative to the article (18) arranged to detect the set of markers (16). The set of markers (16) have one or more characteristics that vary such that said variations contain information relating to one or more characteristics of the environment adjacent the position in the row. The variations in the characteristics are detectable by the sensing unit (12).

    Abstract: A guidance system (10) is disclosed for guiding a guidable device relative to a set of markers (38). Each marker (38) has a plurality of detectable marker elements (39) and the marker elements together define a detectable signature sequence. The guidance system comprises a marker detection device (12, 14, 16, 18) arranged to detect the signature sequence of a marker, and to provide a position signal indicative of the relative position of the marker detection device relative to each detected marker using the markers. The system also comprises a steering controller (24) arranged to receive the position signal and to control the position of a guidable device in response to the position signal when the detected signature sequence corresponds to a valid signature sequence. A corresponding method is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A locating system (8) and method for determining the location of an article relative to a crop row (42). The system (8) comprises a plurality of marker means (13) substantially linearly disposed at intervals substantially parallel to the crop row (42). A sensor means (10) is provided to generated a sensor signal indicative of the location of the sensor means (10) and hence the article in relation to the crop row (42).
