Autonomous Navigation and Crop Row Detection in Vineyards Using Machine Vision with 2D Camera

Enrico Mendez, Javier Piña Camacho, Jesús Arturo Escobedo Cabello, Alfonso Gómez-Espinosa

In order to improve agriculture productivity, autonomous navigation algorithms are being developed so that robots can navigate along agricultural environments to automatize tasks that are currently performed by hand. This work uses machine vision techniques such as the Otsu’s method, blob detection, and pixel counting to detect the center of the row. Additionally, a commutable control is implemented to autonomously navigate a vineyard. Experimental trials were conducted in an actual vineyard to validate the algorithm. In these trials show that the algorithm can successfully guide the robot through the row without any collisions. This algorithm offers a computationally efficient solution for vineyard row navigation, employing a 2D camera and the Otsu’s thresholding technique to ensure collision-free operation.
