A method for determining the central lateral position of a spray swath

An aerial swath offset experiment was conducted to measure the accuracy of two commercial navigational systems for compensation of cross wind influence. The swaths produced in this experiment presented many different deposit patterns. A method was required to determine a position for the differing...
