Abstract
The present invention is a method for providing guidance towards a far-point position for a vehicle implementing a satellite-based guidance system. The method includes capturing an image. The method further includes providing the image in a digital format to an algorithm. The method further includes isolating far-point pixelized data of the provided image. The method further includes generating data for causing a steering control system of the vehicle implementing the satellite-based guidance system to maintain the vehicle on a straight-line path towards the far-point position.
