# Material detection and handling of material irregularities

## Abstract

Methods and systems for guiding movement of an agricultural system within a field including sensor data indicative of an environment of the agricultural system used to identify a material profile along which the agricultural system shall be guided, one or more properties of the material profile determined from the sensor data and in particular properties indicative of an irregularity in the material profile, determination of a correcting path segment for guiding movement of the agricultural system with respect to the material profile irregularity, and movement of the agricultural system controlled along the determined correcting path segment.
