Methods of optimizing stochastic processing parameters in crop harvesting machines

摘要

A precision farming method including a stochastic parameter <img id="CUSTOM-CHARACTER-00001" he="2.79mm" wi="1.44mm" file="US07308326-20071211-P00001.TIF" alt="custom character" img-content="character" img-format="tif"/>, which is continuously optimized to adjust the model to the latest prevailing working conditions. Such parameter may be considered to constitute a variable which characterizes the instantaneously prevailing readiness of the harvesting process. Such variable <img id="CUSTOM-CHARACTER-00002" he="2.79mm" wi="1.44mm" file="US07308326-20071211-P00001.TIF" alt="custom character" img-content="character" img-format="tif"/> can be used for establishing field maps showing the evolution of the harvesting operation itself. It can also be used in automatic routines which adjust the harvester speed in order to limit the grain losses.
