Abstract
An autonomous harvesting machine for orchard operating environments is described. The autonomous harvesting machine uses machine vision techniques to identify and triangulate features in the operating environment using a stream of monocular images. For instance, the harvesting machine identifies and localizes a shake point of a tree by projecting virtual rays from the pose of the identification system to the identified emergence point feature. To harvest the fruit of trees in the orchard, the harvesting machine shakes the tree at the identified shake point. Additionally, the harvesting machine autonomously navigates through the orchard using a combination high resolution spatial information based on localized features and low resolution spatial information from accessed satellite images.
