Method for generating cut point data, system for generating cut point data, and agricultural machine

A system for generating cut-point data including information indicating a three-dimensional position of a point on a cane of a fruit tree where the cane is to be cut off, the system comprising:

• a sensor or sensors to acquire sensor data including information indicating a three-dimensional structure of one or more canes of the fruit tree;
• and
• a data processor configured or programmed to generate the cut-point data for a cane of the fruit tree based on the sensor data;
• wherein
• the data processor is configured or programmed to:
• acquire information on a cultivation method of the fruit tree;
• based on the sensor data, for each of the one or more canes, acquire a measurement value(s) concerning one or more attributes, including an attribute having different evaluation criteria depending on the cultivation method;
• based on the measurement value(s), determine the two or more canes each as a cane to be removed or a cane to be retained;
• and
• generate the cut-point data for each cane determined as a cane to be removed.
