Abstract
A first in-situ sensor detects a characteristic value as a mobile machine operates at a worksite. A second in-situ sensor detects a material dynamics characteristic value as the mobile machine operates at the worksite. A predictive model generator generates a predictive model that models a relationship between the characteristic and the materials dynamics characteristic based on the characteristic value detected by the first in-situ sensor and the material dynamics characteristic value detected by the second in-situ sensor. The predictive model can be output and used in automated machine control.
Claims20
An agricultural system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions executable by the one or more processors that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to:
- obtain a value of a characteristic corresponding to a first geographic location at a worksite;
- obtain a value of a material spill characteristic corresponding to a grain receptacle of a mobile agricultural machine and to the first geographic location at the worksite, wherein the grain receptacle is configured store grain, wherein the mobile agricultural machine includes a material transfer subsystem configured to selectively transfer the grain, stored in the grain receptacle, to a location external to the grain receptacle, and wherein the material spill characteristic represents spillage of at least a portion of the grain;
- identify a relationship between the characteristic and the material spill characteristic based on the value of the characteristic corresponding to the first geographic location at the worksite and the value of the material spill characteristic corresponding to the first geographic location at the worksite;
- and
- generate a control signal to control a controllable subsystem based on the relationship between the characteristic and the material spill characteristic.
