¶ Patent for a forest harvester configured to determine a harvesting sequence of trees to be cut
Description: A forest harvester for cutting trees includes a harvest sequencing system (10) configured to determine a harvesting sequence (34) of trees to be cut. The system comprises a perception system (20) configured to collect data about the trees and a perception computer (30) for generating Tree level information (110) for the trees. The perception computer is configured to determine the harvesting sequence in dependence on the Tree level information and a harvesting policy. The forest harvester also includes a control system configured to receive the harvesting sequence from the perception computer and coordinate the cutting of trees according to the harvesting sequence. This allows for optimal tree selection and efficient forest thinning operations.
