Abstract

An agricultural operation evaluation system for an agricultural work vehicle includes an offboard device configured to collect offboard feedback associated with the agricultural operation and location information; and a controller. The controller is configured to receive the offboard feedback and the location information for the offboard feedback from the offboard device; determine at least one offboard input parameter from the offboard feedback; receive machine data including at least one onboard input parameter and location information for the least one onboard input parameter; correlate the at least one offboard input parameter and the at least one onboard input parameter based on the location information for the at least one offboard input parameter and the location information for the at least one onboard input parameter; and determine one or more vehicle adjustments based on the correlated at least one offboard input parameter and at least one onboard input parameter.

Claims (28)

1. An agricultural operation evaluation system for an agricultural work vehicle having one or more onboard actuators, comprising:

an offboard device configured to collect offboard feedback associated with the agricultural operation and location information for the offboard feedback; and

a controller having a processor and memory architecture configured to:

receive the offboard feedback and the location information for the offboard feedback from the offboard device;

determine at least one offboard input parameter from the offboard feedback;

receive machine data including at least one onboard input parameter and location information for the at least one onboard input parameter;

correlate the at least one offboard input parameter and the at least one onboard input parameter based on the location information for the at least one offboard input parameter and the location information for the at least one onboard input parameter;

determine one or more agricultural work vehicle adjustments based on the correlated at least one offboard input parameter and at least one onboard input parameter; and

implement the one or more agricultural work vehicle adjustments based on the correlated at least one offboard input parameter and at least one onboard input parameter as control commands to the one or more onboard actuators.

2. The agricultural operation evaluation system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one offboard input parameter is an offboard qualitative input parameter.

3. The agricultural operation evaluation system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one offboard input parameter is an offboard quantitative input parameter.

4. The agricultural operation evaluation system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one onboard input parameter is an onboard qualitative input parameter.

5. The agricultural operation evaluation system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one onboard input parameter is an onboard quantitative input parameter.

6. The agricultural operation evaluation system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one offboard input parameter is an offboard qualitative input parameter and the at least one onboard input parameter is an onboard qualitative input parameter.

7. The agricultural operation evaluation system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one offboard input parameter is an offboard quantitative input parameter and the at least one onboard input parameter is an onboard qualitative input parameter.

8. The agricultural operation evaluation system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one offboard input parameter is an offboard qualitative input parameter and the at least one onboard input parameter is an onboard quantitative input parameter.

9. The agricultural operation evaluation system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one offboard input parameter is an offboard quantitative input parameter and the at least one onboard input parameter is an onboard quantitative input parameter.

10. The agricultural operation evaluation system of claim 1 , wherein the offboard device is configured to collect the offboard feedback as an image and the controller is configured to extract the at least one offboard input parameter from the image.

11. The agricultural operation of claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to extract the at least one offboard input parameter from the image as an offboard quantitative input parameter.

12. The agricultural operation of claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to extract the at least one offboard input parameter from the image as an offboard qualitative input parameter.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the collecting the offboard feedback includes collecting the offboard feedback as an image, and the step of determining the at least one offboard input parameter from the offboard feedback includes extracting the at least one offboard input parameter from the image.

14. A method for evaluating an agricultural operation of an agricultural work vehicle having one or more onboard actuators, the method comprising: collecting, with an offboard device, offboard feedback associated with the agricultural operation and location information for the offboard feedback; receiving, with a controller, the offboard feedback and the location information for the offboard feedback from the offboard device; determining, with the controller, at least one offboard input parameter from the offboard feedback; receiving, with the controller, machine data including at least one onboard input parameter and location information for the least one onboard input parameter; correlating, with the controller, the at least one offboard input parameter and the at least one onboard input parameter based on the location information for the at least one offboard input parameter and the location information for the at least one onboard input parameter; and determining, with the controller, one or more agricultural work vehicle adjustments based on the correlated at least one offboard input parameter and at least one onboard input parameter, and implementing, with the controller, the one or more agricultural work vehicle adjustments based on the correlated at least one offboard input parameter and at least one onboard input parameter as control commands to the one or more onboard actuators.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the at least one offboard input parameter is an offboard qualitative input parameter.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the at least one offboard input parameter is an offboard quantitative input parameter.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the at least one offboard input parameter is an offboard qualitative input parameter and the at least one onboard input parameter is an onboard qualitative input parameter.

18. The method of claim 14 , wherein the at least one offboard input parameter is an offboard quantitative input parameter and the at least one onboard input parameter is an onboard qualitative input parameter.

19. The method of claim 14 , wherein the at least one offboard input parameter is an offboard qualitative input parameter and the at least one onboard input parameter is an onboard quantitative input parameter.

20. The method of claim 14 , wherein the at least one offboard input parameter is an offboard quantitative input parameter and the at least one onboard input parameter is an onboard quantitative input parameter.
