Yield prediction for a cornfield
A method for predicting the yield of a cornfield is presented. The method has the steps of positioning a digital camera at a defined distance above an average plane of ears of a cornfield, capturing a digital image of a section of the cornfield, determining the area of the captured cornfield section...

| Zusammenfassung: | A method for predicting the yield of a cornfield is presented. The method has the steps of positioning a digital camera at a defined distance above an average plane of ears of a cornfield, capturing a digital image of a section of the cornfield, determining the area of the captured cornfield section, determining the total area of the ears in the digital image compared to the total area of the digital image, and determining the yield of the field from the total area of the ears in the digital image compared to the total area of the digital image, the determined area of the captured cornfield section, the average grain weight of an ear, a total field area and a calibration factor. |
