Methods and apparatus to determine soft boundaries through variable confidence intervals

A method to determine a boundary for vehicle operation in a queried plot of land, comprising:

• generating a first boundary based on a query for a boundary of a plot of land;
• computing a first probabilistic boundary for the first boundary based on an error of generation of the first boundary;
• computing a second probabilistic boundary for a second boundary based on an error of generation of the second boundary;
• combining the first probabilistic boundary and the second probabilistic boundary to generate a soft boundary, the combination based on a first confidence score for the first boundary and a second confidence score for the second boundary;
• and
• causing operation of an agricultural vehicle based on the soft boundary.

An apparatus to determine a boundary for vehicle operation in a queried plot of land, comprising:

• interface circuitry;
• memory;
• and
• at least one processor circuit to be programmed by machine-readable instructions to:
• generate a first boundary based on a query for a boundary of a plot of land;
• compute a first probabilistic boundary for the first boundary based on an error of generation of the first boundary;
• compute a second probabilistic boundary for a second boundary based on an error of generation of the second boundary;
• combine the first probabilistic boundary and the second probabilistic boundary to generate a soft boundary, the combination based on a first confidence score for the first boundary and a second confidence score for the second boundary;
• and
• cause operation of an agricultural vehicle based on the soft boundary.
