SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING LENGTHS OF PARTICLES

A method and system for identifying lengths of a particle in a flow of harvested material comprising particles in an agricultural harvester is disclosed. The agricultural harvester has at least one work assembly for harvesting a crop or for processing harvested material of the crop and can be adjusted using machine parameters. The harvested material is transported as a flow of harvested material through the agricultural harvester while the agricultural harvester is operating. The agricultural harvester has a camera that takes images of the flow of harvested material, with a computing unit of the agricultural harvester analyzing the images of the flow of harvested material in an analytical routine thereby finding particle lengths of particles of the flow of harvested material that are an excess length. The analytical routine is based on a machine learning method trained to find particles with the excess length, with the computing unit using the analytical routine to ascertain an amount of particles with the excess length.
