Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, from an imaging apparatus coupled to a harvesting implement, digital video data comprising frames that represent a view of a horticultural product on a moving conveyor belt of the harvesting implement during a harvesting operation;
receiving, from one or more location sensors coupled to the harvesting implement, digital geographic location data produced by the one or more location sensors, wherein the digital geographic location data identifies geographic locations of the harvesting implement when the digital video data was captured;
inputting, to a machine-learned model that has been trained to recognize the horticultural product in digital imagery, the digital video data;
outputting annotated video data, the annotated video data comprising digital annotation data identifying individual instances of the horticultural product detected in frames of the digital video data using the machine-learned model, the digital geographic location data, and digital timestamp data comprising timestamps associated with the frames;
using the annotated video data, computing quantitative data identifying particular counts of the individual instances of the horticultural product associated with particular timestamp data;
using the digital timestamp data, mapping the quantitative data to the digital geographic location data to produce a digital yield map; and
causing display of the digital yield map on a field manager computing device.
