A crop row detection algorithm based on LiDAR is proposed in this paper for middle and late crop periods, which shows good detection results in high sheltering environments. The algorithm demonstrates accuracy and superiority over the machine vision algorithm, providing a solid foundation for autonomous navigation in agriculture.
As the basic link of autonomous navigation in agriculture, crop row detection is vital to achieve accurate detection of crop rows for autonomous navigation. Machine vision algorithms are easily affected by factors such as changes in field lighting and weather conditions, and the majority of machine vision algorithms detect early periods of crops, but it is challenging to detect crop rows under high sheltering pressure in the middle and late periods. In this paper, a crop row detection algorithm based on LiDAR is proposed that is aimed at the middle and late crop periods, which has a good effect compared with the conventional machine vision algorithm. The algorithm proposed the following three steps: point cloud preprocessing, feature point extraction, and crop row centerline detection. Firstly, dividing the horizontal strips equally, the improved K-means algorithm and the prior information of the previous horizontal strip are utilized to obtain the candidate points of the current horizontal strip, then the candidate points information is used to filter and extract the feature points in accordance with the corresponding threshold, and finally, the least squares method is used to fit the crop row centerlines. The experimental results show that the algorithm can detect the centerlines of crop rows in the middle and late periods of maize under the high sheltering environment. In the middle period, the average correct extraction rate of maize row centerlines was 95.1%, and the average processing time was 0.181 s; in the late period, the average correct extraction rate of maize row centerlines was 87.3%, and the average processing time was 0.195 s. At the same time, it also demonstrates accuracy and superiority of the algorithm over the machine vision algorithm, which can provide a solid foundation for autonomous navigation in agriculture.
