Harvester implement degree of crop processing sensor system

A harvester implement comprising:

• a head unit operable to gather crop material and direct the crop material along a flow path;
• a crop processor positioned to receive the crop material from the head unit and partially define the flow path of the crop material, wherein the crop processor is operable to process the crop material to alter a characteristic of the crop material;
• an image sensor assembly positioned downstream of the crop processor along the flow path of the crop material, and operable to capture a post-processing image of the crop material as the crop material moves along the flow path;
• a computing device in communication with the image sensor assembly and including a processor and a memory having a crop processing analysis algorithm stored thereon, wherein the processor is operable to execute the crop processing analysis algorithm to:
• receive the post-processing image of the crop material from the image sensor assembly;
• analyze the post-processing image to determine an actual degree of processing to the characteristic of the crop material achieved by the crop processor;
• and
• communicate a notification signal to an output indicating the actual degree of processing to the characteristic of the crop material.
