Combine, method of generating field farming map, program for generating the field farming map and storage medium recording the field farming map generating program

Abstract

Need exists for information management technique that allows utilization of collapsed grain culms detection for a future farming plan. A combine includes a machine body position calculation section for calculating a machine body position comprising map coordinates of a machine body, an image capturing section configured to image-capture a field at time of a harvesting work, an image recognition module configured to input image data of captured images acquired by the image capturing section and to estimate a collapsed grain culm area in the captured images and then to output recognition output data indicative of the estimated collapsed grain culm area, an evaluation module configured to output a produce evaluation value per unit traveling acquired by evaluating the agricultural produces that are harvested sequentially, a collapsed grain culm position information generation section configured to generate collapsed grain culm position information indicative of a position of the collapsed grain culm area on a map, based on the machine body position and the recognition output data and a harvest information generation section configured to generate harvest information from the machine body position at the time of harvest of the agricultural produces and the produce evaluation value.
