Abstract
Geotagged information about a crop harvest is captured while harvesting. The geotagged information may be communicated to a management system or other work machines. The geotagged information may be utilized by a tractor or other work vehicle during collection of the harvested crop. For instance, the vehicle may automatically control a speed or output information on a display to aid an operator to control the speed.
Claims20
A system for an agricultural machine, comprising:
- a controller that operably receives input data indicative of location-dependent quantities of crop and a position of the agricultural machine, wherein the controller includes:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, configure the at least one processor to:
- acquire an estimated quantity of crop based on the position of the agricultural machine and the location-dependent quantities of crop;
- and
- generate adjustment data indicative of an adjustment to a speed of the agricultural machine based on the estimated quantity of crop;
- and
- a drive system that adjusts the speed of the agricultural machine based on the adjustment data.
6 more elements
A method for an agricultural machine, comprising:
- determining a position of the agricultural machine;
- acquiring an estimated quantity of crop at a location corresponding to the position of the agricultural machine;
- generating adjustment data indicative of an adjustment to a speed of the agricultural machine;
- and
- generating a control signal for a drive system of the agricultural machine based in part on the adjustment data.
2 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a set of sensors configured to sense a set of attributes related to crop processing by a first agricultural machine at a plurality of intervals throughout an area, wherein the set of sensors includes at least one of a header load sensor configured to sense a load on a header of the first agricultural machine or a swath flap load sensor configured to sense a load on a swath flap of the first agricultural machine;
- a first position sensor configured to determine a position of the first agricultural machine for each interval at which the set of sensors sense the set of attributes;
- a second position sensor configured to determine a position of a second agricultural machine;
- any of one or more processors being configured to:
- receive sensor data from the set of sensors at the plurality of intervals, the sensor data being indicative of the set of attributes, and the set of attributes include at least a header load of the first agricultural machine at each interval;
- receive first position data from the first position sensor, the first position data being indicative of a location of the first agricultural machine at each interval;
- generate a set of values indicative of an estimated quantity of crop processed by the first agricultural machine for each interval throughout the area based on the sensor data and the first position data, each value being tagged with a corresponding location in area;
- receive second position data from the second position sensor, the second position data being indicative of a location of the second agricultural machine;
- acquire an estimated quantity of crop corresponding to the location of the second agricultural machine;
- and
- generate adjustment data indicative of an adjustment to a speed of the second agricultural machine based on the estimated quantity of crop.
