Abstract
A mechanism for determining a density of crop stored by a crop bin. Volume information and mass information of the crop is generated and processed to determine or derive the density of crop.
Claims15
A crop monitoring system for a harvesting machine having a crop bin for storing harvested crop, the crop monitoring system comprising:
- a crop volume monitoring system configured to generate volume information that indicates a volume of crop stored by the crop bin;
- a crop mass sensing system configured to generate mass information that indicates a mass of crop stored by the crop bin;
- and
- a crop density system configured to process the volume information and the mass information to predict a density of the crop stored by the crop bin.

A method for determining a density of crop stored by a crop bin of a harvesting machine, the method comprising:
- generating, using a crop volume monitoring system, volume information that indicates a volume of crop stored by the crop bin;
- generating, using a crop mass sensing system, mass information that indicates a mass of crop stored by the crop bin;
- and
- processing the volume information and the mass information to predict a density of the crop stored by the crop bin.
