Patent ID: 11714800

Abstract:
In an embodiment, a server computer (“server”) identifies planting datasets of planting data values that correspond to separate planting passes in a field and harvesting datasets of harvesting data values that correspond to separate harvesting passes in the field, each planting data value and each harvesting data value including a location value. The server normalizes the planting datasets based on a heading direction of a first agricultural equipment, a row-unit shift of the first agricultural equipment, or a direct measurement of a first measurement device value. The server also normalizes the harvesting datasets based on a heading direction of a second agricultural equipment, a row-unit shift of the second agricultural equipment, or a direct measurement of a second measurement device value. The server further matches, after the normalizing, the planting datasets and the harvesting datasets using location values in corresponding planting data values and harvesting data values to generate planting-to-harvesting pairs. Finally, the server computes a set of location errors from each planting-to-harvesting pair of the planting-to-harvesting pairs.
