US 2023/0413715 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TILLAGE OPTIMIZATION USING NON-INVASIVE MULTIMODAL SENSORS

Abstract

Methods, systems and devices for determining optimized tillage of a soil area are provided. Operations include transmitting, using at least one sensor, a data set regarding a physical, chemical and/or biological aspect of the soil area. Operations include receiving, using at least one computing device, the data set regarding the physical, chemical and/or biological aspect of the soil area. The at least one computing device removes a set of redundant data and the at least one computing device enhances a set of data that is not the set of redundant data. Operations include generating a visualization of the set of data that is not redundant data. The data that is not redundant data provides a data set reflecting a soil compaction measurement within the soil area and the soil area is not deeper than 36 inches from a surface of the soil area.

Claims21

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a vehicle that is configured to travel over a soil area;
a location device that is configured to provide geographic location data corresponding to the vehicle;
at least one sensor that is caused to move above a surface of the soil area as the vehicle travels thereon and to generate data relating to a physical, chemical and/or biological characteristic of the soil corresponding to the soil area;
and
a computer that is communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor and to the location device, that is configured to receive the geographic location data and the data relating to the physical, chemical and/or biological characteristic of the soil, and to generate location associated data relating to the physical, chemical and/or biological characteristic of the soil corresponding to the soil area.
