Abstract

A vehicle row follow system may include a vehicle comprising at least one sensor to output signals serving as a basis for a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud and to output signals corresponding to a two-dimensional (2D) image of a region forward the vehicle. The system may further include a non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions to direct a processor to: determine plan row lines in a 2D image; determine a yaw of the vehicle based upon a slope of a heading line relative to a centerline between the plant row lines in the 2D image; determine a lateral offset of the vehicle from the centerline between the consecutive plant rows based upon an identity of the consecutive plant rows in the 3D point cloud; and output steering control signals based upon the determined yaw and lateral offset of the vehicle.
