  • Sensor calibration using field information
    Patent number: 10028435
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 4, 2016
    Date of Patent: July 24, 2018
    Assignee: Deere & Company
