Abstract
A method is provided for controlling the operation of a machine for harvesting root crop and/or for separating root crop from the rest of the harvested material comprising extraneous materials. At least one optical image-capturing unit captures at least one test image of at least one part of the harvested material which is moved along relative to a machine frame by means of at least one conveyor element. An evaluation device generates, on the basis of a test data set which is generated using the test image or formed thereby, a separating device setting signal for setting at least one operating parameter of a separating device of the machine.
Claims31
A method for controlling the operation of a machine for at least one of harvesting root crop and separating root crop from the rest of the harvested material comprising extraneous materials, the method comprising the steps of:
- capturing, with at least one optical image-capturing unit, at least one test image of at least one part of the harvested material which is moved along relative to a machine frame by means of at least one conveyor element,
- generating test data using the test image or by the test image by at least one of the optical image-capturing unit and an evaluation device;
- and
- generating, on the basis of the test data set, a separating device setting signal for setting at least one operating parameter of a separating device of the machine.
