  • Patent number: 12490734
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a method for operating a treatment device (120) applying a treatment product to an agricultural area, the method comprising: obtaining (S210) at least one dataset of an area of interest within the agricultural area (110) to a control system (12.10); determining (S220), by the control system (12.10), from the at least one dataset a plant indicator, wherein a basic threshold for triggering application of the treatment product is dynamically adjustable in relation to the plant indicator; and providing a control signal (S230), by the control system, to control the treatment device (120) based on the determined plant indicator and the threshold for triggering application of the treatment product.

  • Publication number: 20240169721
    Abstract: Computer-implemented method for providing corrected plant-related index data, comprising the steps of: providing initial plant-related index data for an agricultural field, preferably based on at least one satellite image; and correcting the initial plant-related index data for the agricultural field at least based on historical plant-related index data for the agricultural field and providing corrected plant-related index data.

  • Publication number: 20230200288
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treatment of an agricultural field, the method comprising the steps: 1) receiving (S10) a parametrization (10) for controlling a treatment device (200) by the treatment device (200) from a field manager system (100); 2) receiving (S20) from at least one soil sensor (400) real-time soil information on the real-world situation of the geographical location G1 in the agricultural field; 3) processing (S30) the real-time soil information to generate processed information (30), 4) determining (S40) a control signal (50) for controlling a treatment arrangement (270) of the treatment device (200) based on the received parametrization (10) and the processed information (30), 5) executing (S50) a treatment on the geographical location G2 in the agricultural field, wherein the treatment is executed based on the control signal (50) real-time after receiving the real-time soil information in such a way that the distance between location G1 and location G2 does not exceed 100 m

  • Publication number: 20220253991
    Abstract: A method for correcting remote sensor data of an agricultural field, the method comprising the following steps: receiving remote sensor data (DR) for the agricultural field from a remote sensor, wherein the remote sensor data (DR) comprises at least one remote measurement value corresponding to at least one location that is measured by the remote sensor at at least one point in time of obtaining the remote measurement value; receiving local sensor data (DL) for the agricultural field from at least one local sensor, wherein the at least one local sensor data (DL) comprises at least one local measurement value corresponding to at least one location of the at least one local sensor and corresponding to at least one point in time of obtaining the local measurement value correlating to the location and point of time of obtaining the remote measurement value; determining a correction model based on the previously received local sensor data (DL) and the previously received remote sensor data (DR); and determining co
