Abstract
Many yield maps exhibit systematic errors that attenuate the underlying yield variation. Two errors are dealt with in detail in this paper: those that occur when the harvester has a narrow finish to a land and those that occur when the harvester is filling up at the start of a harvest run. The authors propose methods to correct or remove erroneous data by the use of an expert filter, or alternatively use of an interpolation technique called potential mapping.
