GPS-free Autonomous Navigation in Cluttered Tree Rows with Deep Semantic Segmentation

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Segmentation-based autonomous navigation has recently been presented as an appealing approach to guiding robotic platforms through crop rows without requiring perfect GPS localization. Nevertheless, current techniques are restricted to situations where the distinct separation between the plants and the sky allows for the identification of the row's center. However, tall, dense vegetation, such as high tree rows and orchards, is the primary cause of GPS signal blockage. In this study, we increase the overall robustness and adaptability of the control algorithm by extending the segmentation-based robotic guiding to those cases where canopies and branches occlude the sky and prevent the utilization of GPS and earlier approaches. An efficient Deep Neural Network architecture has been used to address semantic segmentation, performing the training with synthetic data only. Numerous vineyards and tree fields have undergone extensive testing in both simulation and real-world to show the solution's competitive benefits.


Text Generation using GPT-J with Hugging Face 🤗 and Segmind

Text generation is the task of automatically generating text using a machine learning system. A good text generation system can make it really hard to distinguish between human and machine-written text pieces.
