YIELD ESTIMATION |
| 摘要 |
A method and apparatus estimate yield. A first signal is received that an aggregate yield measured by an aggregate yield sensor during a measurement interval. A second signal is received that indicates a plurality of geo-referenced regions across which a harvester has traveled prior to the measurement interval. The method and apparatus allocate, to each of at least two geo-referenced regions, an aggregate yield portion allocation based upon different travel times for crops to the aggregate yield sensor Visual-Infrared Vegetative Index data derived from sensing of plants in selected portions of the electromagnetic spectrum at a time other than harvest. The aggregate yield portion allocations are output. |

1. A method comprising:
receiving a first signal indicating an aggregate yield measured by an aggregate yield sensor during a measurement interval; receiving a second signal indicating a plurality of geo-referenced regions across which a harvester has traveled prior to the measurement interval; allocating, to each of at least two geo-referenced regions, an aggregate yield portion allocation based upon different conveyance imes for crops to the aggregate yield sensor and Visual-Infrared Vegetative Index data derived from sensing of plants in selected portions of the electromagnetic spectrum at a time other than harvest; and outputting the aggregate yield portion allocations. |
