Abstract: A method of automatically managing a center pivot irrigation machine comprising steps of: (a) providing at least one center pivot irrigation machine and positioning said center pivot irrigation machine such that said center pivot irrigation machine is movable within an irrigated plot around a center thereof; (b) providing a ground penetration radar; (c) mounting said ground penetration radar on said center pivot irrigation machine; (d) moving said center pivot irrigation machine about said center of said irrigated plot; (e) scanning said irrigated by said ground penetration radar at frequencies ranging between 200-1200 MHz; (f) calculating a distribution of soil moisture over a depth from a soil surface; and (g) creating an irrigation plan according to said distribution.

Abstract: A multimode interline charge coupled device having an array of light sensitive pixels, each configured to accumulate photocharge responsive to light incident on the pixel, and a controller configured to allocate a first portion of the pixels to accumulate photocharge responsive to light from a scene during a plurality of exposure periods and allocate a second portion of the pixels to store photocharge accumulated by pixels in the first portion to provide a plurality of images of the scene greater than two.
