Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for detecting stalks processed by a combine harvester, for measuring stalk diameters, and for displaying harvest metrics and yield data to a user based on stalk locations and stalk diameters.

Abstract: A method for agronomic and agricultural monitoring includes designating an area for imaging, determining a flight path above the designated area, operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) along the flight path, acquiring images of the area using a camera system attached to the UAV, and processing the acquired images.

Abstract: Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate identical or corresponding parts through-out the several views, FIG. 1 illustrates a prior art agricultural combine 10 which is supported and propelled by ground engaging wheels 14. Although the combine 10 is illustrated as being supported and propelled on ground engaging wheels 14 it can also be supported and propelled by full tracks or half tracks. A harvesting assembly 16 is used to gather crop and to conduct it to a feederhouse 18. The crop is conducted by the feederhouse 18 to a beater 20. The beater 20 guides the crop upwardly through an intake transition region 22 to a rotary threshing and separating assembly 24. In addition to rotary type combines such as that illustrated in FIG. 1, the prior art includes conventional combines having a transverse threshing cylinder and straw walkers or combines having a transverse threshing cylinder and rotary separator rotors.
