Field Evaluation of a Combine Feedrate Sensor

Online crop height and density estimation in grain fields using LiDAR

“…To reduce the under-capacity margin and operate as close as possible to full load, several researchers have tried to move the biomass estimation as much to the font of the machine as possible. Klassen et al (1994) proposed to measure the capacitance disturbance between parallel plates on the table of the header. This method showed good performance over a wide range of crop moisture and density.…”
