Abstract: An autonomous farming machine navigable in an environment for performing farming action(s) is disclosed. The farming machine receives a notification from a manager that there are no obstacles in the blind spots of the detection system. The farming machine applies an obstacle detection model to the captured images to verify that there are no obstacles in unobstructed views. The farming machine determines a configuration of the farming machine. The farming machine determines a virtual safety bubble for the farming machine to autonomously perform the farming action(s) based on the determined configuration. The farming machine detects an obstacle in the environment by applying the obstacle detection model to the captured images. The farming machine determines that the obstacle is entering the virtual safety bubble. In response to determining that the obstacle is entering the virtual safety bubble, the farming machine terminates operation of the farming machine and/or enacts preventive measures.

Abstract: A control system receives image data of a portion of a field, where the image data comprises a plurality of pixels each representing a three dimensional (3D) coordinate in the field. The control system applies an obstruction identification model to the image data to identify an obstruction in the field. The obstruction identification model determines a seed segment for the field portion and determines a detection ground plane by extrapolating a seed segment to the 3D coordinates of the plurality of pixels. The obstruction identification model identifies a set of pixels of the plurality of pixels that have three dimensional coordinates above the detection ground plane as the obstruction. The control system executes an action for the farming machine to avoid the obstruction in the field based on the obstruction identification model's identification of the obstruction.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for calibrating an image acquisition system of a farming machine. The farming machine captures images of objects in an environment as the farming machine moves through an environment. Based on the captured images, a represented three-dimensional (3D) model of the environment representing the objects in a three-dimensional space is generated. From the represented 3D model, a represented location of an object (e.g., building, lamppost, tree) is determined. The represented location of the object is compared to a reference location of the object and the comparison is used to calibrate the image acquisition system by modifying positions, orientations, or optical settings of one or more cameras in the image acquisition system.

Abstract: A system includes a data acquisition device that includes one or more sensors. The data acquisition device collects sensor data from the one or more sensors that measure one or more of the following: irrigation flow rate, irrigation water quality, intensity of solar radiation, ambient temperature, and ambient humidity. The system further includes a user interface module that collects condition data from a user. The system further includes a collection and analysis application that receives the sensor data from the data acquisition device, receives the condition data from the user interface module, analyzes the sensor data and the condition data, and generates analyzed data from the sensor data and the condition data. The user interface module generates a user interface that includes the analyzed data from the collection and analysis application.
