This is a part of my PhD research to develop methods to process sensor-derived data for crop management in New Zealand.
This simple program removes common errors in the historical yield monitor data recorded from combine harvesters.
Data required:
(1) Yield monitor data collected over the years. (2) Field boundary in which the data is collected.
Data format: shapefiles
Before running:
(1) Historical yield monitor data put in one folder (2) Field boundary data put in the other folder (3) Start a new folder for the output data
Potential error: Different names for the yield attribute caused by different yield monitors ... Here it should be called "Yld_Mass_D", not anything else. Simply change the name into "Yld_Mass_D" will bypass the error.
