Abstract: Embodiments of a kernel-level grain monitoring system include a grain camera positioned to capture bulk grain sample images of a currently-harvested grain taken into and processed by a combine harvester, a moisture sensor, and a display device. A controller architecture is coupled to the grain camera, to the moisture sensor, and to the display device. The controller architecture is configured to: (i) analyze the bulk grain sample images, as received from the grain camera, to determine an average per kernel (APK) volume representing an estimated volume of a single average kernel of the currently-harvested grain; (ii) repeatedly calculate one or more topline harvesting parameters based, at least in part, on the determined APK volume and the moisture sensor data; and (iii) selectively present the topline harvesting parameters on the display device for viewing by an operator of the combine harvester.

Abstract: A mobile agricultural corn harvester comprises a non-header portion and a header portion (or header). The mobile agricultural corn harvester further includes a material other than grain (MOG) intake characteristic sensor, disposed on the non-header portion, configured to detect MOG intake and generate sensor data indicative of MOG intake. The mobile agricultural harvester further includes a control system configured to determine a control action based on the sensor data and to generate an action signal to control a controllable subsystem, such as a deck plate actuator a header speed actuator, or a header position actuator, based on the determined control action.

Abstract: A mobile agricultural machine includes a set of ground engaging elements, a controllable subsystem configured to perform a work operation on a field, and a control system. The control system is configured to identify a work performance metric representing a performance characteristic of the work operation having an inverse relationship to traversal speed of the mobile agricultural machine over the field, receive an indication of operator presence relative to the mobile agricultural machine, generate a weighting parameter that weights the work performance metric relative to a ride quality metric based on the indication of operator presence, determine a target machine speed based on the weighting parameter, and output a control instruction based on the target machine speed.

Abstract: One or more information maps are obtained by an agricultural work machine. The one or more information maps map one or more agricultural characteristic values at different geographic locations of a field. An in-situ sensor on the agricultural work machine senses an agricultural characteristic as the agricultural work machine moves through the field. A predictive map generator generates a predictive map that predicts a predictive agricultural characteristic at different locations in the field based on a relationship between the values in the one or more information maps and the agricultural characteristic sensed by the in-situ sensor. The predictive map can be output and used in automated machine control.

Abstract: An agricultural combine having at least one loss sensor associated with a threshing and separating system, a processing device, and a user interface. The processor is configured to collect geographical position readings, operating parameter settings, and loss data readings. The operating parameter settings and loss data readings are associated with the position readings. The processor generates a display at the user interface illustrating a geographical map including at least a portion of the plurality of position readings. The geographical map graphically indicates each loss data reading associated with each position reading illustrated on the geographical map at that position reading's respective location on the geographical map. A system and method for evaluating the performance of an agricultural combine are also provided.

Abstract: A grain loss sensor array system is provided for an agricultural harvester. At least one thermal sensing device is attached to a header of the agricultural harvester and captures infrared images or video of the ground. A controller detects pre-harvest loss and harvest loss using the infrared images or video by recognizing a temperature difference or a characteristic thermal difference between the pre-harvest loss, the harvest loss, and the ground. The controller may communicate with or be integrated with a yield monitor to provide information concerning the pre-harvest loss and harvest loss to an operator of the agricultural harvester.

Abstract: A grain quality sensor comprising a lens, a filter, a photosite array, an illumination source, and an electronics module, wherein the illumination source directs light containing a known set of wavelengths onto a crop sample, wherein the lens picks up light reflected by the crop sample and directs it into the filter, which allows light to pass into different parts of the photosite array such that certain locations on the photosite array only get certain frequencies of the reflected light, wherein the electronics module is electrically connected to the photosite array and capable of determining which parts of the photosite array received light and what frequency the light received was, wherein the electronics module can analyze the optical data received by the photosite array, and wherein the analysis of the optical data is used to determine the composition of different parts of the crop sample.

Abstract: A topographical indication for a field is detected by an aerial sensor and, based on the topographical indication, an area of consistent elevation is calculated. An estimated yield indication for a field is also detected, and an area of consistent estimated yield is calculated. With a controller, a calibration candidate zone is generated, wherein the calibration candidate zone comprises an area of the field with a consistent topography and a consistent estimated yield along a width and a length of the area.

Abstract: A crop quality sensor, comprising an illumination source, an imaging device, and a processor executing application software. The illumination source is shone onto a crop sample, and an image is taken with the imaging device of the illuminated crop sample. The software executing on the processor is used to analyze the image to identify the outlines of individual kernels and to identify which of those outlines contain a specular highlight, indicative that the kernel is whole and unbroken, while the absence of such a specular highlight is indicative of a broken kernel.
