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

A system for generating cut-point data containing 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 of a cane(s) of the fruit tree;
• and
• a data processor configured or programmed to:
• generate the cut-point data of the cane(s) of the fruit tree based on the sensor data;
• from among a plurality of pruning modes having respectively different methods of determining a point(s) on the cane(s) of the fruit tree where cutting is to be performed, acquire information on a pruning mode that is selected by a user;
• based on the sensor data and based on the selected pruning mode, determine one or more points where cutting is to be performed for the cane(s) of the fruit tree;
• and
• generate the cut-point data for each of the one or more points where cutting is to be performed.
