Demonstrating CropFollow++: Robust Under-Canopy Navigation with Keypoints

We present an empirically robust vision-based navigation system for under-canopy agricultural robots using semantic keypoints. Autonomous under-canopy navigation is challenging due to the tight spacing between the crop rows (∼ 0.75 m), degradation in RTK-GPS accuracy due to multipath error, and nois…
