Yield Measurement System For Seed Corn: Improving Dynamic Weight Accuracy And Harvest Area Determination, Fatima Ellyn Murillo
Yield Measurement System For Seed Corn: Improving Dynamic Weight Accuracy And Harvest Area Determination, Fatima Ellyn Murillo
Masters Theses
A prototype weight-based yield mapping system for seed corn production was developed at the University of Tennessee (UTK) and field tested in Iowa. The first chapter of the following study focuses on assessing the accuracy of this yield mapping system which employs a novel yield prediction and analysis software called Yield Analyzer. Yield Analyzer was designed using a rule-based system for producing yield maps with minimal user input by automatically determining acceptable ranges for known dependent variables that contribute to dynamic weight measurement errors.
The second chapter of this thesis covers the development of a non-intrusive, machine vision technique to …
