Autonomous Agricultural Tractor: Integrated Weed Detection and LiDAR Navigation for Precision Paddy Farming

- 用激光雷达约束视觉检测区域,提升定位与识别效率。
- 在无卫星信号时仍能稳定导航,作物识别准确率超90%。
- 专为水稻田设计,防止误杀水稻,适合智慧农业部署。
稻田中精准化杂草管理可显著减少除草剂使用,但实际应用受限于三大挑战:遮蔽环境下GNSS失效导致的作物行导航困难、实时区分形态多样的杂草与水稻、以及将水稻误判为杂草造成的不可逆损失。本文提出AgriNav系统,基于四个ROS模块集成:自研WeedDet模型用于水稻检测,轻量级1.68M参数的CNN-FPN结合不对称类别加权,通过硬编码置信度门控保护水稻类别的反向逻辑判别模块,以及融合GNSS、IMU和轮速计的六状态常速度转向率扩展卡尔曼滤波器,具备三级断连续航能力。核心贡献是四机制激光雷达-相机融合桥:利用导航激光雷达实现感兴趣区约束、世界坐标投影、地面平面滤除及双向置信度融合,零额外硬件成本。仿真显示,系统可在20秒无GNSS期间持续定位,全程作物行检测置信度高于0.9,水稻检测置信度在0.32至0.95之间,覆盖淹水、空中与常规田间图像。激光雷达感兴趣区约束使检测推理区域缩小约30%至50%。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Site-specific weed management in paddy farming offers substantial reductions in herbicide use over conventional broadcast spraying, but field deployment has been limited by three persistent challenges: robust crop-row navigation under canopy where GNSS degrades, real-time visual discrimination between rice and morphologically diverse weeds, and the asymmetric cost of misclassifying rice as weed, which is irreversible. This paper presents AgriNav, an integrated autonomous tractor system built around four ROS-coupled modules: a custom PyTorch reimplementation of WeedDet for rice detection, a parallel lightweight 1.68M-parameter CNN-FPN variant with asymmetric class weighting, an inverted-logic discrimination module that protects the rice class through a hardcoded confidence-gate veto, and a 6-state constant-velocity-turn-rate Extended Kalman Filter fusing GNSS, IMU, and wheel odometry with three-level outage bridging. Our primary system-level contribution is a four-mechanism LiDAR-camera fusion bridge that uses the navigation LiDAR for region-of-interest constraint, world-coordinate projection, ground-plane filtering, and bidirectional confidence fusion at zero additional hardware cost. Simulation experiments demonstrate continuous position tracking through a 20-second GNSS outage, crop row detection confidence above 0.9 throughout operation, and rice-detection confidences from 0.32 to 0.95 across paddy, aerial, and post-flood imagery. The LiDAR ROI constraint reduces detection inference region by an estimated 30 to 50 percent.
