A Vision Based Navigation System for an Agricultural Field Robot
José M. Ortiz, Manuel Olivares · 2006
Some developed countries need automation of agricultural tasks, since doing them by hand is becoming more and more expensive. This motivates to build a robot capable of navigating in a plantation for performing agricultural tasks. An autonomous navigation technique is developed, using as main sensor, the information coming from a camera. These techniques are tested in a controlled environment, for evaluating the performance.
