  • OVERBLOWN GRAIN LOSS DETECTION
    Publication number: 20250107486
    Abstract: A method of operating a grain harvesting machine includes: capturing images of a crop material flow in an image capture area of the grain harvesting machine; identifying a plurality of grain elements in the images; determining a velocity of each of the grain elements; determining whether each of the grain elements is likely to be overblown out of the grain harvesting machine based at least in part on the velocity of each of the grain elements; and controlling a subsystem of the grain harvesting machine at least in part based upon the determination of whether the grain elements are likely to be overblown. A grain harvesting machine for performing such a method is also disclosed.

  • Unthreshed Grain Loss Detection and Analysis
    Publication number: 20250072325
    Abstract: A method of operating a grain harvesting machine includes: capturing images of a crop material flow in an image capture area of the grain harvesting machine, the crop material flow including known grain elements, known material other than grain (MOG) elements, and unknown elements not yet identified as grain or MOG; identifying one or more of the unknown elements in the images; determining a velocity of each of the identified unknown elements; based on the velocity of each of the identified unknown elements, determining whether each of the identified unknown elements is grain or MOG; and controlling a subsystem of the grain harvesting machine at least in part based upon the determination of whether each of the identified unknown elements is grain or MOG.

  • Cleaning fan airflow control system
    Patent number: 12232444
    Abstract: A cleaning fan on an agricultural harvester generates airflow along an airflow path through a fan duct. A movable flap is mounted relative to the fan duct and controlled to divert the airflow path in a side-to-side transverse direction relative to a front-to-back longitudinal axis of the agricultural harvester.
