A system and method for determining the boundaries of a field is disclosed. The system and method utilizes computational geometry and, in particular, the alpha shape of the field to derive the field boundary of a set of georeferenced data points. The method includes collecting georeferenced data for the field, assigning the georeferenced data to a data set, filtering the data to remove anomalous data points, filtering the data to remove known inside points, scaling the point coordinates from decimal to integer form, determining the alpha shape of the set, buffering the alpha shape to compensate for antenna position, and outputting the field boundary.
