Filtered planning of path for a vehicle

1 . A system of filtering a path of a vehicle, the system comprising:

a user interface configured to support the selection of a threshold value used to filter the path of the vehicle;

a data processor configured to:

receive the path that defines guidance lines and transitions between guidance lines, the guidance lines defining movement of the vehicle though a work area or field;

filter the path by deleting portions of the guidance lines that do not satisfy the threshold value; and

a guidance module to control at least one motive function of the vehicle based on the filtered path;

wherein the threshold value is yield value, and wherein the data processor is further configured to:

receive a yield map that defines coordinate-based yields of the work area or field;

calculate yields for the guidance lines based on the yield map; and

delete the portions of the guidance lines where the yields are less than the yield value.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the data processor is configured to prioritize deletion of the portions of the guidance lines based on a prioritization rule.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the data processor is configured to recalculate the transitions between the guidance lines to account for the deleted portions.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein to recalculate the transitions between the guidance lines, the data processor is configured to treat portions of the work area or field that have a yield value below a yield threshold as not part of the work are or field.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the user interface is configured to support the selection of a second threshold value used to filter the path of the vehicle, wherein the second threshold value is one of a threshold destruction percentage, and an operation level value.

6 . A method for filtering a path of a vehicle, the system comprising:

receiving, on a user interface on a display, a selection of a threshold value used to filter the path of the vehicle;

receiving, by a data processor, the path that defines guidance lines and transitions between guidance lines, the guidance lines defining movement of the vehicle though a work area or field;

filtering, by the data processor, the path by deleting portions of the guidance lines that do not satisfy the threshold value; and

controlling, by a guidance module, at least one motive function of the vehicle based on the filtered path;

wherein the threshold value is yield value, and wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, by the data processor, a yield map that defines coordinate-based yields of the work area or field;

calculating, by the data processor, yields for the guidance lines based on the yield map; and

deleting, by the data processor, the portions of the guidance lines where the yields are less than the yield value.

7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising prioritizing deletion of the portions of the guidance lines based on a prioritization rule.

8 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising recalculating, by the data processor, the transitions between the guidance lines to account for the deleted portions.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein recalculating the transitions between the guidance lines further comprises treating portions of the work area or field that have a yield value below a yield threshold as not part of the work are or field.

10 . The method of claim 6 , wherein receiving the selection of the threshold value further comprises receiving the selection of a second value used to filter the path of the vehicle, wherein the second threshold value includes one of a threshold destruction percentage and an operation level value.
