摘要：
A system and method for transferring agricultural material from a transferring vehicle 100 to a storage portion 106 of a receiving vehicle 102, and detecting and filling void areas of the agricultural material is disclosed. A transferring vehicle having a spout 112 transfers agricultural material to a storage portion of a receiving vehicle. An imaging device 126 associated with the transferring vehicle and facing towards the storage portion of the receiving vehicle collects imaging data. An image processing module (302 figure 3) is operable to, based on the imaging data, estimate fill levels of agricultural material within the storage portion； identify an area of the storage portion as targeted to fill； and identify a first void within the targeted area. A controller (324 figure 3) in communication with the image processing module is configured to command the spout to a position to direct agricultural material to the first void. Also disclosed is a method of performing the above.
