  • Publication number: 20230148474
    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.

  • Patent number: 11650553
    Abstract: A priori geo-referenced 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 geo-referenced 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.

  • Patent number: 11477940
    Abstract: Control zones are dynamically identified on a thematic map and work machine 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 on the control zones that the work machine is in, and based upon the settings corresponding to the control zone. When modification criteria are met, an actuator setting in a control zone can be modified, during operation. The control zone is then divided on a near real-time display into a harvested portion of the control zone, and a new control zone that has yet to be harvested, and that has the modified actuator setting value. A record is then generated and stored, for the harvested control zone, and for the new control zone.

  • Patent number: 11467605
    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.

  • Publication number: 20220232763
    Abstract: A map obtainable by an agricultural harvester contains regime zones with settings resolvers. A plurality of different target actuator settings corresponding to the geographic location of the agricultural work machine are identified. A regime zone is identified based on the geographic location of the agricultural harvester. One of the plurality of different target actuator settings is selected as a resolved target actuator setting based on the settings resolver corresponding to the identified regime zone and is used to control the agricultural harvester.
