Methods and systems are provided for controlling operation of an operator assistance system for an agricultural machine. Image data is received from a thermal imaging sensor associated with the agricultural machine, where the thermal imaging sensor has an imaging region which, at least in part, includes a portion of the agricultural machine. The image data from the sensor is analysed to determine a thermal characteristic for the machine portion. The thermal characteristic is then used to control the assistance system, e.g. by utilising the determined characteristic to calibrate the thermal imaging sensor.
