Hi Everyone - long time no post, I realise.
Ok - so a bit of an update - I’ve spent the last little while learning a new language (VB.NET). It’s been a nice challenge, as most of my programming to date has been non-object oriented stuff - command line interfaces or totally embedded solutions usually written in ANSI C.
I’ve been up in North Queensland helping a company up there develop yield maps for their Sugar Cane harvesters (actually, I helped design the equipment that sits on the harvesters and does the yield monitoring, as well). The process of taking the raw data off the harvesters and converting it into yield maps is a fairly long and drawn out one. Firstly you need to filter the data (something I had been doing in Excel) to remove erroneous positions and obvious outliers.
Secondly you need to convert the latitudes and longitudes from the yield (more…)
