Abstract
A method for determining residue coverage within a field may include receiving, with one or more computing devices, first and second images of the field. The first image may depict a portion of the field at a first time during a crop-growing period and the second image may depict the portion of the field at a second time during the crop-growing period, with the first and second times being different. Furthermore, the method may include generating, with the one or more computing devices, an estimated residue coverage map for the field based on the received first and second images. Additionally, the method may include generating, with the one or more computing devices, a prescription map for the field based on the estimated residue coverage map.
