Abstract
An agricultural harvesting machine comprises a path processing system that obtains a predicted crop yield at a plurality of different field segments along a harvester path on a field, and obtains field data corresponding to one or more of the field segments generated based on sensor data as the agricultural harvesting machine is performing a crop processing operation. A yield correction factor is generated based on the received field data and the predicted crop yield at the one or more field segments. Based on applying the yield correction factor to the predicted crop yield, a georeferenced probability metric is generated indicative of a probability that the harvested crop repository will reach the fill capacity at a particular geographic location along the field. A control signal generator generates a control signal to control the agricultural harvesting machine based on the georeferenced probability metric.
