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;
• wherein
• the data processor is configured or programmed to:
• 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 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;
• and
• the plurality of pruning modes include:
• a first pruning mode;
• and
• a second pruning mode in which settings of priority levels of two or more attributes of the cane(s) of the fruit tree in the determination of the point or points where cutting is to be performed are identical to those of the first pruning mode and in which an enabled/disabled setting(s) as to one or more setting parameters capable of being enabled or disabled in the determination of the point or points where cutting is to be performed differ from that/those in the first pruning mode.
