  • AUTOMATED ADJUSTMENT OF CROP DEVELOPMENT ESTIMATES
    Publication number: 20260240069
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for generating crop development estimates are described. A mechanized harvester may acquire ground-based samples associated with a trait of a crop variety from sample locations. An image capture device may acquire images associated with a trait of the crop variety in the sample locations. Ground-based estimates and raw estimates may be generated using the acquired images and machine learning models, and the differences determined between the raw estimates and ground-based estimates. A predictive analysis of the raw estimates and the ground-based estimates may be used to determine a correction factor. Images of the crop variety in a second location that is not included in the sample locations may be acquired and used to generate additional raw estimates. And a corrected estimate may be generated based on fitting the correction factor to the additional raw estimates.
