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 harvesting system obtains a yield map that maps yield values to different geographic locations in a worksite and a speed map that maps agricultural harvester speed values to different geographic locations in the worksite. The agricultural harvesting system identifies a geographic location in the worksite at which the agricultural harvester will be full, at least to a threshold level, based on the yield map; identifies a geographic location in the worksite at which a material transfer operation is to start based on the geographic location at which the agricultural harvester will be full, at least to the threshold level; and identifies a time at which the agricultural harvester will arrive at the material transfer location, based on the speed map. The agricultural harvesting system can control one or more of the agricultural harvester and a receiving machine.

Abstract: A priori georeferenced vegetative index data is obtained for a worksite, along with field data that is collected by a sensor on a work machine that is performing an operation at the worksite. A predictive model is generated, while the machine is performing the operation, based on the georeferenced vegetative index data and the field data. A model quality metric is generated for the predictive model and is used to determine whether the predictive model is a qualified predicative model. If so, a control system controls a subsystem of the work machine, using the qualified predictive model, and a position of the work machine, to perform the operation.

Abstract: An information map is obtained by an agricultural system. The information map maps values of a characteristic at different geographic locations in a worksite. An in-situ sensor detects material consumption values as a mobile material application machine operates at the worksite. A predictive map generator generates a predictive map that maps predictive material consumption values at different geographic locations in the worksite based on a relationship between values of the characteristic in the information map and material consumption values detected by the in-situ sensor. The predictive map can be output and used in automated machine control.

Abstract: A crop constituent value is sensed by a crop constituent sensor on an agricultural machine. The crop constituent value is distributed among subregions covered by the agricultural machine. A vegetative index-estimated crop constituent value is obtained for each of the subregions. A weighted crop constituent value is generated for each subregion based upon the distributed constituent value for each subregion and the vegetative index-estimated constituent value for that subregion. An action signal is generated based upon the weighted crop constituent value for the subregion.

Abstract: A work machine receives a thematic map that maps values of a variable to different geographic locations at a worksite. Control zones are dynamically identified on the thematic map and actuator settings are dynamically identified for each control zone. A position of the work machine is sensed, and actuators on the work machine are controlled based upon the control zones that the work machine is in, or is entering, and based upon the settings corresponding to the control zone. These control zones and settings are dynamically adjusted based on in situ (field) data collected by sensors on the work machine.
