摘要: A method for controlling a material flow rate from a metering system of an agricultural system includes receiving at a controller, a weight of a material in a storage tank. The method also includes receiving, at the controller, a volume of the material in the storage tank. The method also includes determining, via the controller, a density of the material in the storage tank using the weight of the material in the storage tank and the volume of the material in the storage tank. The method further includes determining, via the controller, a calibration of the metering system based on the density of the material in the storage tank.

Furthermore, the method includes determining, with the computing system, an image gradient orientation at each of a plurality of pixels within the captured image. Additionally, the method includes determining, with the computing system, a plurality of image gradient orientation densities associated with the captured image based on the determined image gradient orientations. Moreover, the method includes determining, with the computing system, a residue coverage parameter associated with the imaged portion of the field based on the determined plurality of image gradient orientation densities.

摘要: A mounting assembly for a hopper of an agricultural row unit includes a mounting bracket configured to couple to one of the hopper or a frame of the agricultural row unit. The mounting bracket has a first recess and a second recess, the first recess is configured to engage a rod while the hopper is in an engagement position and in a mounting position, the second recess is configured to engage the rod while the hopper is in a mounted position, and the rod is configured to couple to the other of the hopper or the frame. In addition, the mounting assembly includes a support bracket configured to couple to one of the hopper or the frame. The support bracket includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion, and the first and second protrusions form a recess.

摘要: A row unit closing wheel assembly includes a closing wheel, a closing wheel arm, and a closing wheel shaft having a first end and a second end. The closing wheel is coupled to the first end and the closing wheel arm is coupled to the second end via a pivot joint. The row unit closing wheel assembly includes an adjustable mechanical linkage assembly coupled both to the closing wheel shaft and to the closing wheel arm. The adjustable mechanical linkage is configured to adjust an angle of the closing wheel shaft relative to the closing wheel arm along a horizontal plane via movement of the closing wheel shaft about the pivot joint. The horizontal plane is orthogonal to a rotational axis of the pivot joint.

摘要: An agitation system includes a plurality of modular agitators, and each modular agitator of the plurality of modular agitators includes an agitator configured to couple to a respective modular meter of a plurality of modular meters. Each modular agitator of the plurality of modular agitators also includes an agitator drive assembly configured to drive the agitator. The agitation system also includes a controller configured to receive meter speed data from the plurality of modular meters. The controller is configured to determine an operation for the agitator of each of the plurality of modular agitators and independently control the agitator drive assembly of each of the plurality of modular agitators.

摘要: In one aspect, a method for detecting terrain variations within a field includes receiving one or more images depicting an imaged portion of an agricultural field. The method also includes classifying a portion of the plurality of pixels that are associated with soil within the imaged portion of the agricultural field as soil pixels with each soil pixel being associated with a respective pixel height. Additionally, the method includes identifying each soil pixel having a pixel height that exceeds a height threshold as a candidate ridge pixel and each soil pixel having a pixel height that is less than a depth threshold as a candidate valley pixel. The method further includes determining whether a ridge or a valley is present within the imaged portion of the agricultural field based at least in part on the candidate ridge pixels or the candidate valley pixels.

摘要: A container for growing plants includes a bottom wall, a first side wall extending perpendicular to the bottom wall, and a second side wall extending perpendicular to the bottom wall and parallel to the first side wall such that the bottom wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall at least partially define a plant growing chamber. Furthermore, the container includes a lid configured to selectively occlude access to the plant growing chamber. Additionally, the container includes a carrier assembly positioned with the plant growing chamber and movably coupled to the first side wall and the second side wall. Moreover, the container includes a tool coupled to the carrier assembly such that movement of the carrier assembly relative to the first side wall and the second side wall moves the tool within the plant growing chamber.

摘要: A method for determining soil clod parameters within a field includes receiving, with a computing system, three-dimensional image data depicting an imaged portion of the field. The three-dimensional image data, in turn, includes a first two-dimensional image depicting the imaged portion of the field relative to a first position and a second two-dimensional image depicting the imaged portion of the field relative to a second position, with the first position being spaced apart from the second position. Furthermore, the method includes identifying, with the computing system, a soil clod depicted with the received three-dimensional image data. Additionally, the method includes comparing, with the computing system, the first and second two-dimensional images to identify a shadow surrounding at least a portion of the identified soil clod. Moreover, the method includes determining, with the computing system, a soil clod parameter associated with the identified soil clod based on the identified shadow.

摘要: An agricultural machine includes a computing system configured to store a machine-learned model and perform operations. The operations include receiving data from a transceiver-based sensor configured to emit an output signal directed toward soil within a portion of a field and receive an echo signal indicative of a backscattering of the output signal by the soil. Additionally, the operations include extracting a set of features associated with the echo signal from the received data. Moreover, the operations include inputting the set of features into the machine-learned model and receiving a preliminary soil moisture value for the set of features as an output of the machine-learned model. In addition, the operations include determining a final soil moisture value for the portion of the soil within the field based on the preliminary soil moisture value.
