Abstract
A crop loss signal is received from a crop loss sensor. A plurality of context characteristics are detected and a combined context signal is generated based on the plurality of context characteristics. The loss signal is corrected based on the combined context signal.
Claims20
A computer implemented method, comprising:
- generating a loss signal indicative of sensed crop loss sensed during a harvesting operation performed by a harvester;
- detecting a plurality of context characteristics corresponding to the harvester;
- generating a combined context signal based on the plurality of context characteristics;
- and
- generating a corrected loss signal based on the loss signal and the combined context signal.
2 more elements
An agricultural system, comprising:
- a loss sensor configured to generate a loss signal indicative of sensed crop loss sensed during a harvesting operation performed by a harvester;
- a first context sensor configured to detect a first context characteristic corresponding to a context of the harvester;
- a second context sensor configured to detect a second context characteristic corresponding to the context of the harvester;
- a context fusion system configured to generate a combined context signal based on the first and second context characteristics;
- and
- a loss output system configured to generate a corrected loss signal based on the loss signal and the combined context signal.
3 more elements
A correction system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a data store storing computer executable instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform steps, comprising:
- receiving a loss signal indicative of sensed crop loss sensed during a harvesting operation performed by a harvester;
- receiving a plurality of context characteristic signals indicative of a plurality of context characteristics corresponding to the harvester;
- generating a combined context signal based on the plurality of context characteristics;
- and
- generating a corrected loss signal based on the loss signal and the combined context signal.
